994 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story residential building at 994 Broadway in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shaye Falkowitz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2022. The property faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with incidents reported in both July and December 2022, and March 2023, though some concerns were resolved upon inspection. There were also notable sanitation issues, including mold and pest infestations, particularly in July 2022 when violations were issued.

The second-floor apartment (Apartment 2) has the most documented issues, with violations recorded for electrical service problems, plumbing issues, and various maintenance matters including broken light switches and plaster repairs, though some violations have been resolved or closed. More recent complaints include a food poisoning incident in June 2024, which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deemed isolated, and an appliance issue in late 2022 that was resolved upon inspection. The building's infrastructure has shown some persistence of problems, particularly related to heating and electrical systems.

However, recent inspections have shown improvement, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing, following a "Rat Activity" finding in November 2024. Importantly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the past five reporting periods, from 2020 through 2024, indicating successful pest management in this aspect. The building's systems and maintenance records show a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with a notable concentration of problems in the summer of 2022, though there have been fewer complaints in recent years.
