Augrented Insights Report for 178 Rockaway Parkway

The 6-story, 71-unit building at 178 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Joseph Popack, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since its 1929 construction. Most notably, the building has ongoing problems with rodent infestations, with multiple rodent inspection reports between 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity and the need for bait applications. Recent complaints from May 2025 indicate various unresolved maintenance issues, including problems with doors, electrical systems, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions, though some inspections were unable to be completed.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, with the most recent active complaint filed in April 2025. December 2024 inspections revealed violations in multiple apartments related to safety equipment, including defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as pest infestations. The property has undergone some remediation efforts, as evidenced by the closure of several violations, including the repair of smoke detectors in apartments 1F and 6A, and the abatement of pest infestations in certain units.

Complaints from April 2025 regarding plumbing issues and ceiling conditions were found not to violate housing codes. The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting, showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024. Historical elevator maintenance violations were documented in the Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board records between 2021-2022, with penalties imposed for various safety issues including a tampered door zone restrictor. While permits for elevator work were issued in 2019 and 2020, current documentation suggests ongoing issues with the elevator system that remain to be fully resolved.
