392 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 392 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Eddie Sachar and built in 1930, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, during 2025, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with six emergency complaints filed between April and June 2025, and recurring heating system problems documented in both 2024 and 2025. The building has also faced persistent electrical issues, including power outages and lighting problems, as well as multiple rodent infestations, with baiting efforts ongoing throughout 2025 despite inspections indicating past rat activity as recently as December 2024.

The property has two active ECB violations from 2019 and 2023 related to structural concerns, including leaning parapet walls, damaged bricks, and water damage affecting apartment 2F, for which penalties totaling $9,375 have been imposed. Additional maintenance issues include problems with building sanitation, as evidenced by multiple complaints about pests and sewage in mid-2025, and various housing code violations related to basement conditions, heating systems, and electrical wiring. The building's history shows recurring structural concerns, with two separate complaints about building shaking/vibration in 2019 and 2023.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 documented inadequate heat supply issues in apartment 2F and various maintenance requirements for the basement area, though many violations were subsequently closed. The property has undergone regular rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications throughout 2025, and compliance inspections showing both activity and successful remediation during recent months. Despite these challenges, some complaints from earlier periods (2024-2025) have been resolved, including recent successful compliance inspections for rodent control in June 2025.
