235 Rochester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, three-unit building at 235 Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Antoine Sherman, has experienced a series of maintenance issues since its construction in 2003. Most notably, there are currently four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which are classified as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also faced multiple emergency situations, including two heat/hot water complaints in February 2019 (one of which required an inspection that was unable to be completed due to lack of access) and a water leak incident in August 2021, though the latter inspection also could not gain access to the affected area. In 2019, the building underwent significant scrutiny, with various violations being documented and subsequently closed, including issues with electrical service in Apartment 3, concerns about shipping material attached to sprinkler heads in public areas, and several safety and maintenance infractions in common areas.

Rodent-related issues have been documented, with a rat sighting complaint in July 2019 and a confirmed mouse infestation in Apartment 3FL in April 2019, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2017 and 2019 passed. While some historical violations show a pattern of maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that many of the building's documented issues have been addressed and closed, with the exception of the bedbug reporting requirement violations that persist as of the latest inspection in 2024.
