905 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

905 Saratoga Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Kevin Hbaptiste. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2023 and 2024. Most recently, in January 2024, there was another heat/hot water complaint, though it was reported that service had been restored during HPD's investigation.

In late 2023, Building Unit 2F was found to have several violations, including problems with lead-based paint hazards, requiring both immediate attention under various sections of the Administrative Code. The building's maintenance history from 2021 shows multiple violations that were subsequently closed, including issues with heavy water leaks, electric problems, and sanitation concerns involving pests. The property has also faced challenges with building system access and maintenance compliance. In late 2023, there were violations noted regarding access to the building's heating system boiler room, and in November 2023, a violation was issued for inadequate hot water provision throughout Apartment 2F.

Historical data reveals that in 2021, there were multiple violations requiring attention to painting and plastering needs. Additionally, there were two instances in 2023 (February and November) where inspectors were unable to gain access to the property during gas utility and certificate of occupancy inspections. Notably, a bedbug report was filed in May 2023 showing no infestations between November 2021 and October 2022, and a compliance rodent inspection from 2013 showed passing results. The building currently has an open bedbug reporting violation from April 2024 requiring the submission of an annual bedbug report to HPD.
