96 Rockaway Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 96 Rockaway Avenue is a 4-story, 14-unit, New Law Tenement building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Nicola Deacetis. The property has experienced ongoing heating and hot water system challenges, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout late 2024 and early 2025, including five distinct heating system complaints in December 2024 alone, followed by several more in January 2025. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in December 2024, including concerns about carbon monoxide detection devices, smoke detectors, and inconsistent hot water availability in Apartment 1A, along with electrical outlet issues in a public hall.
Apartment 2A has documented maintenance needs including water leak repairs and pest control requirements established in inspections conducted in late 2024. The building's maintenance history shows previous rodent activity in 2021, though subsequent inspections passed compliance checks, and the property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since the 2019-2020 reporting period. Access issues have occasionally complicated inspection responses, as noted in several HPD complaint resolutions.
A recent complaint regarding illegal commercial use in the residential zone remains active as of January 2025. While some violations from December 2024 have been certified as resolved, including heating access issues, others remain open, indicating ongoing attention is required for certain infrastructure systems. The building underwent regular inspections and reporting through the HPD system, with the most recent heating and hot water complaints showing recurring system deficiencies that warrant continued monitoring.
