802 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The building at 802 Saratoga Avenue is a 3-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1930, currently owned by Ahmed Ahmed. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular problems related to sanitation and pest control.

In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests and water supply issues, though in several instances, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. These recent complaints followed a pattern of similar issues documented throughout 2024, including problems with heat/hot water, electrical systems, and pest infestations. The building's violation history shows outstanding issues, including three open bedbug reporting violations from 2022-2024, and a currently active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation.

Earlier records from 2022 reveal significant interior maintenance issues in apartments 1D and 2C, including rodent infestations and water leak problems, though these were subsequently closed following correction. The building has a notable history of Unsanitary Condition violations, particularly concerning pests, with inspections in 2018 resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to occupancy compliance and emergency repair requirements. While the property has had some improvements over the years, as evidenced by the issuance of various permits for plumbing and electrical work in 2018, the recurring nature of the maintenance complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort, particularly regarding basic services like heat, water supply, and pest control.
