903 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 903 Schenectady Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Michael Arounian and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints in February 2025 affecting the entire building, with one complaint being a duplicate of an existing issue. The building has active violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, though there was a previously issued violation from 2017 that was dismissed in March 2022.

Between 2018-2021, the property was cited multiple times for failing to file required bedbug reports, though the most recent three filings (2022-2025) indicate zero infested units. Historical issues include a cluster of rodent-related complaints in 2018, with inspections revealing rat activity and conditions attracting rodents, though subsequent inspections in October 2018 showed compliance. In 2019, there were safety-related violations requiring attention to building entry security and window guards in Apartment 2R, though these were subsequently resolved.

A series of Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 indicated non-compliance with various orders, including unlawful work during a stop work order and failure to file required certificates, though these were later resolved with associated penalties. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no reported infestations in recent years. The property has also undergone various permitted work in 2018-2019, including electrical and plumbing updates.
