104 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

104 Washington Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1998 in Clinton Hill, currently owned by Henry Jacob. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns being water leaks, particularly during late 2023 when two emergency complaints were filed and partially addressed. The building has a documented history of mechanical issues, including a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2022, though this was reportedly resolved promptly.

The building has undergone several inspections and faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2022 when several Class A violations were issued regarding building safety systems, including self-closing doors, inspection certificates, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector requirements. These violations were all subsequently closed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention compliance from 2020 through 2025, with no documented infestations. However, there have been persistent rodent control challenges, particularly noted between 2015 and 2022, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded.

Recent inspections in 2022 showed some improvement, with a compliance inspection passing, though the building has had fluctuating rodent activity levels requiring attention over the years. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with essential services and building systems, particularly regarding water management and heating systems. While there have been significant improvements in bedbug management and some rodent control progress, the property continues to require active maintenance oversight to address recurring water issues and maintain building safety compliance. The most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 indicate a consistent record of no infestations, and the property has maintained compliance with filing requirements since 2021.
