669 Park Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The two-family house at 669 Park Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jacob Hirsch, has shown persistent maintenance challenges since 2018. Most notably, all three Housing Maintenance Code Violations documented in March 2018 remain open as of now, including issues with inadequate hot water supply and gas service to the stove in Apartment 2, as well as a malfunctioning carbon monoxide detection system.

The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passing after previous inspections in 2024 showing rat activity. Notably, in January 2022, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to conditions attracting rodents, requiring follow-up inspections.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbugs, with four consecutive annual filings (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, failed eradications, or reinfestations. The building's most recent rodent inspections have shown some improvement, with the latest July 2025 inspection passing, though this follows a pattern of alternating results ranging from rat activity in 2024 to passing inspections in 2022. The property, built in 1992, is a two-story structure containing two units, and while it has demonstrated some persistence in addressing maintenance issues, particularly with the rodent situation, the unresolved housing code violations from 2018 continue to warrant attention.
