373 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 373 Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville, built in 1930, has experienced notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. The most concerning problems have emerged primarily in apartment 2F, where there are currently six open violations as of November 2024, including an active pest infestation (roaches and mice) and multiple flooring issues. The building has been under close scrutiny since May 2024 due to structural concerns, with multiple complaints about building shaking and stability, resulting in a partial vacate order being served.

These structural concerns coincided with several maintenance issues, including water leak problems, floor damage, and unsanitary conditions. Recent inspections and service requests have revealed multiple maintenance violations requiring attention, with varying resolution statuses. In July 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints involving walls, ceilings, floors, and doors, with some resulting in violations being issued. The apartment 2F has specific ongoing issues with bathroom conditions, including a sunken bathtub and leaning toilet, which have led to significant ECB violations with penalties totaling $18,750.

Historical complaints from 2018 indicated concerns about illegal conversions and building stability, though access was denied during inspections. Despite these persistent issues, bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show no infestations, suggesting that particular pest problem has been effectively managed. The building's ownership and management history shows regular violations and maintenance issues throughout the past several years, with the most significant problems emerging in 2024. The combination of open violations, structural concerns, and multiple unresolved maintenance issues indicates that the building has faced persistent challenges in maintaining acceptable living conditions for its tenants.
