944 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
944 Kent Avenue, a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past several years. The property, currently owned by Naftoly Weber, has documented multiple water-related issues, with multiple emergency water leak complaints showing "heavy flow" conditions in 2025, 2024, and earlier. These incidents were usually followed by HPD inspections resulting in violations that required owner remediation.
Recent complaints from March 2025 also include issues with ceiling paint/plaster and mold, though inspections found some conditions did not violate housing laws. The building has a pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple pest-related complaints between 2022 and 2025, though recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. Historically, there are open violations from December 2017 regarding inadequate heating systems and access to the boiler room, which remain unresolved.
The building has failed to file mandatory external low-pressure inspection reports for multiple years (2023 and 2018 inspections), resulting in active violations as of 2024. While there has been consistent monitoring of bedbug activity, recent filings (2023 and 2024) indicate no reported infestations during the respective periods. The property has undergone regular rat inspections, with previous activity noted in 2021-2022, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without rat activity. The building's maintenance record shows a recurring pattern of issues requiring attention, particularly regarding water systems and pest control, with some violations remaining open since 2017 and others appearing to recur in nature.
