48 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 48 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Keith Bleasdell and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, particularly affecting Units 1F, 1R, and 2F. Most recently, in December 2024, multiple open violations were recorded, including encumbrances in the 2nd-story hallway, electrical service issues in 2F, and kitchen cabinet problems in 2F.

The property has documented three separate HPD violations and three 311 complaints during October 2024 alone, specifically related to electrical outlets, window panes, and various wall conditions, with violations issued for the electrical outlet and window concerns. Earlier in 2024, from June 24 to 29, multiple inspection requests for walls, ceilings, and windows were made, though no violations were found during those inspections. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of maintenance issues that require attention, including a failed compliance inspection for rodent control in January 2019 and an initial failed inspection in December 2018, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges.

Open violations from October 2024 include various repair needs, such as defective window sashes, electrical problems, bathroom issues in 1R involving a defective tub reglaze and ceramic wall tiles, and an infestation of roaches in 1F that was subsequently closed. The property has also had multiple instances of paint and plaster complaints throughout 2024, with one recurring issue related to the need for appropriate floor conditions. While HPD inspections have found some complaints not to violate housing laws, there appears to be a significant number of open violations and repair needs that affect various apartments throughout the building, with particularly notable concerns in the ground floor units.
