68 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
68 Patchen Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Aaron Weiss. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with a particularly concerning pattern emerging in 2025 involving multiple unaddressed complaints and inspection access issues.
Between March and May 2025, there were at least seven separate complaints related to plumbing, water leaks, mold, and general maintenance, many of which resulted in violations being issued but remained unresolved due to access issues for HPD inspectors. The building has multiple active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024, including issues with hot water supply, smoke detector functionality, and carbon monoxide detection in apartment 3F, as well as rodent infestation problems documented in apartment 1R and common areas. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, with documented water-related issues throughout 2025 and multiple concerns regarding plumbing systems.
With six active violations related to boiler inspection filings from 2019-2024, there appears to be ongoing noncompliance with required annual boiler inspections, with an associated penalty recently issued of $655 as of December 2024. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug inspections showing no infestations between 2020-2024, but rodent activity has been repeatedly documented through regular inspections, with the most recent showing a "Passed" inspection for 2025, following several instances of rat activity between 2023-2024. The building's recent patterns suggest significant challenges with timely maintenance response and inspection access, particularly during 2025 where multiple complaints resulted in closed cases due to inability to gain access for inspection, raising concerns about the building's current maintenance responsiveness and conditions.
