147 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 147 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Moshe Baum, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, with a current penalty balance due of $3,125 as of September 2024. The building has also experienced recurring rodent issues, with a rat sighting reported in September 2024 and an initial rat activity finding in September 2024, though it passed a subsequent compliance inspection in November 2024.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with no infested units reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2025. Recent inspection records reveal several ongoing maintenance issues requiring attention. In 2020, the building received multiple violations including problems with the 4th-story public hall ceiling paint, broken fire retardant material, and leaking roof issues, though some of these violations have since been closed.

The building's historical compliance record includes a 2019 incident involving unauthorized work in progress, resulting in a Full Stop Work Order. While the property has passed several initial and compliance rodent inspections since 2018, recent months have shown continuing rodent activity requiring monitoring. The systematic failure to file boiler inspection reports and the recent rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the building's bedbug management record demonstrates consistent compliance with reporting requirements.
