369 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 369 Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville, owned by Joseph Jacquet and constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over the past several years, with an alarming cluster of complaints continuing into 2025. Multiple heating and hot water complaints have been filed between November 2024 and February 2025, with several being building-wide problems and others affecting individual apartments, though HPD inspectors often faced access challenges.

The building currently has open Class A violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as of April 2024 and March 2023. A comprehensive inspection of apartment 1R in November 2022 revealed numerous concerning conditions, including problems with hot water temperature, door closures, sink waste connection, electrical outlets, and the absence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Additionally, there were documented pest infestation issues in 1R involving both mice and roaches.

The building's recent history demonstrates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic infrastructure such as heating systems and safety equipment. While some earlier complaints from 2022 were resolved (such as those from July 2022), the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest systemic issues with building maintenance and compliance with housing regulations. The data shows a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple emergency complaints being filed and HPD inspections resulting in violations that require correction within specified timeframes.
