130 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-unit, three-story building at 130 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by David Behin, has a notable history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most recently, the property has faced repeated violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, and March 2022, all citing non-compliance with HPD rules.

The building underwent significant construction activity in early 2021 that resulted in multiple environmental control board (ECB) violations, including working without permits, inadequate safety measures, and failure to maintain the building in code, particularly affecting the interior, exterior, and egress areas during renovation work across all three stories. These violations incurred penalties totaling $6,250, and additional DOB violations were issued in May 2021 for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, which remain active as of this report. The Department of Buildings has responded to several complaints and compliance inspections in recent years.

Most notably in 2024, there were compliance-related inspections in October, July, and April, with varying outcomes including "No Violation Warranted" and "Compliance Inspection Performed." A 2022 inspection showed no violations for a site conditions complaint from February 2021. Interestingly, the building's bedbug reporting history shows a period in 2019-2020 with no reported infestations, though the subsequent open violations suggest ongoing reporting non-compliance rather than current infestation issues. The property was built in 1910 and classified as 'HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A,' indicating it has been converted from its original use to a residential building while retaining its historical status.
