97 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

97 Rockaway Parkway is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Edwin Boyce. The building has experienced recurring issues requiring emergency attention, with three separate door-related incidents occurring simultaneously in July 2022, including problems with exterior doors and a roof hatch.

The property has maintained an annual bedbug reporting requirement compliance since 2022, with no recorded infestations or eradications in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024). However, several significant violations are on record from 2018, including unpermitted alterations to the cellar space (converted to an apartment) with inadequate egress and natural light, resulting in three Environmental Control Board violations totaling $12,850 in penalties, of which $6,250 remains unpaid as of December 2018. The building's maintenance history shows periodic violations related to building cleanliness and safety, particularly in 2018, with open violations concerning encumbrances in public areas and refuse accumulation in the front yard.

Earlier inspections revealed various compliance failures in 2016-2017 regarding rodent control measures, though these issues appear to have been resolved in subsequent years. The property has consistently submitted required documentation to HPD regarding bedbug activity, showing no infestations or treatment requirements in recent years. While the building has experienced multiple code violations over the past several years, most have been addressed and closed, though some violations with potential safety implications remain open or unresolved, particularly regarding the 2018 cellar conversion and various door-related issues.
