236 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 236 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Pervaiz Iqbal, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns including an open pest infestation violation (as of March 2024) and multiple outstanding safety compliance issues. The building is currently facing multiple open violations that require attention, including the need to post various safety notices regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, and to address an active cockroach infestation in apartment 2R. Previous maintenance history shows consistent problems between 2021 and 2023, with multiple violations related to electrical systems (including lighting issues), flooring conditions, and water leaks, particularly during a notable incident in July 2022 involving heavy water flow.

The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with inspections showing rat activity in 2018 and 2022, though some subsequent inspections passed without findings. Recent inspection records from 2023/2024 indicate the building has multiple open A-class violations, primarily related to safety notice requirements and pest control documentation. These include the need to file annual bedbug reports, post building registration information, and maintain proper notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements.

A B-class violation from 2022 also remains open concerning roof repairs affecting apartment 3R. The building's permitting history shows several permits were issued between 2020 and 2022, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records provided. The property has also experienced documented water flow issues, both in July 2022 (classified as an emergency complaint) and previous incidents in 2021.
