53 Nichols Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 53 Nichols Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Froilan Batista, is a 2-story building constructed in 1899. The property has experienced a number of maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-story Apartment 2, with documented violations in January 2018 including mold in the bathroom ceiling, defective ceramic tiles, lack of proper carbon monoxide detection devices, and security hardware concerns on the entrance door.

Additionally, there was an environmental control board violation in November 2018 regarding failure to comply with a previous commissioner's order, though this was later resolved with no outstanding penalties. The building's recent history shows no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filing period (2022-2023) and the previous report (2019-2020), indicating effective pest management practices.

Rodent inspections also show mixed results, with initial inspections in January 2018 and March 2012 showing compliance, though one inspection in January 2018 failed for "Other Reasons." While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly in early 2018, most of these violations appear to have been addressed, with no significant recent complaints or violations on record as of October 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, with particular attention to bathroom facilities and safety systems during the 2018 inspection period.
