989 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 989 Hegeman Avenue in East New York, owned by Milton Zapata, has experienced several significant issues over the past decade. Most notably, there is currently an active violation for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with similar violations in previous years from 2020-2024 remaining open.
The building underwent multiple maintenance issues in August 2019, including problems with plumbing (sink/basin), water leaks, flooring (stairs), and various paint/plaster issues affecting ceilings, walls, and stairs, which resulted in several violations being issued. In 2019-2021, there were concerning violations in apartment 2R related to water leaks, mold, and the need for a carbon monoxide detector, along with multiple violations for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations.
The building has also faced serious safety concerns, including hazardous conditions in 2021-2022 involving unauthorized sleeping quarters in the cellar and first-floor areas, which resulted in substantial penalties (though some fines were later resolved). Additional problems included a notable incident in 2021 involving building shaking concerns and a vacate order situation, followed by a 2023 inspection revealing fire damage to wood joists at the first-floor commercial space. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2018 and 2012), but the accumulation of violations, particularly the unresolved bedbug reporting requirement and multiple active violations related to building safety, suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
