264 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

264 Saratoga Avenue is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jay Frechter and constructed in 1901. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the third-floor apartment in August 2018, which resulted in violations for inadequate hot water supply and locked access to the heating system boiler room.

More recent concerns involve rodent activity, with documented rat presence during inspections in 2022 and 2024, though the most recent July 2025 inspection showed compliance with no active rat problems. The building appears to have maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years of mandatory filings between 2019 and 2024. A permitted work project was initiated in January 2019, though specific details about the nature of this work are not provided in the available records.

The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic services like heating and pest control, with some intermittent issues regarding rodent presence. The most recent inspections show a pattern of achieving compliance following previous violations, though the recurring nature of some issues, particularly regarding heating systems and rodent presence, indicates these remain areas requiring regular monitoring. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status throughout the reporting period, which is a positive note in terms of overall building maintenance.
