660 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

660 New Jersey Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Kia Belgrave and located in East New York. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water problems. Between April and December 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

Notably, in early 2024, violations were documented related to a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1A and an inadequate heat supply that was later certified as corrected. The building has documented environmental and structural issues that impact resident quality of life. In late 2023, violations were issued for unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and water leaks, with additional violations from June 2023 related to mold and water leaks. Several maintenance violations remain open as of the most recent inspections, particularly those from April 2024, including issues with the building's heating system access, roof leaks, and damaged plaster in public areas.

While the building has maintained a zero infestation status for bedbugs since at least 2019, an inspection in October 2023 identified a rodent infestation in Apartment 2A that remains unresolved. The property has a documented history of complaints and violations requiring HPD intervention, with most issues being categorized as emergencies. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related problems affecting multiple units and common areas. However, it's worth noting that despite these persistent issues, the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the certification of certain corrections, though numerous open violations remain as of the latest data available.
