9708 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-unit, 4-story residential building at 9708 Kings Highway in Brownsville, constructed in 2008, has experienced several notable maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most significantly, there was a period of inadequate heat and hot water supply affecting multiple units in early 2023, with at least one Class C violation issued regarding hot water supply problems in Apartment 3.

The building has also faced persistent water-related issues, evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 about slow leaks, and similar problems were documented in 2022-2023 affecting Apartment 2, which resulted in several violations including visible mold conditions and water damage requiring repair. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in response to these complaints, they often found no violations, though some issues did receive official citations that were subsequently certified as resolved. More recent inspections and service requests show some improvements, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passing, indicating no current rodent issues as compared to previous concerns in 2019.

The building's most recent violations, documented in July 2024, involved encumbered public hallways on both the first and second floors due to household items, though these were certified as resolved by August 2024. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the most recent annual reports from 2022-2024 showing no infested units. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly related to moisture and heating systems, inspections have generally shown compliance with immediate requirements, and most recent complaints have been addressed through proper channels, though not always resulting in citations.
