9712 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 9712 Kings Highway in Brownsville, owned by Abe Pentelnik and constructed in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance and health issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 (including one in December showing "Rat Activity" and several bait applications throughout the year).

The building has also faced significant issues with pests, as documented through multiple violations including cockroach infestations in apartments 1FL and 2, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage. Heating system problems have been a recurring concern, with several emergency complaints about insufficient heat or hot water between 2022 and 2024, though some inspections found no violations or were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations during this period, including in August 2024 when violations were issued for improper garbage storage and rodent activity in the building's front court area. Previous issues had also been noted regarding building systems, with violations recorded in late 2022 for heat and hot water problems, as well as door and intercom issues. However, inspection records show that as of 2025, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, and all the documented violations from 2022-2024 have been officially closed, suggesting that while the building has faced persistent maintenance challenges, there has been some effort to address these issues through inspections and violations.
