902 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 902 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Abdulmajid Nahshal, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues from 2018 through 2024. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement, with four consecutive violations (2021-2024) under Housing Maintenance Code Section A.

The building has also faced consistent challenges with heating systems, including a heat/hot water emergency complaint in December 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition, and a significant number of active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding missing low-pressure inspection filings from 2018-2023, with corresponding violations issued in 2023 and 2024. In 2018, apartment 2R experienced multiple issues requiring attention, including problems with smoke detectors, a defective intercom system, peeling paint in multiple rooms and the kitchen, and an inoperative carbon monoxide detector, though most of these violations were subsequently closed after corrective actions were taken.

The building's infrastructure has also been an area of concern, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2020 regarding improper venting and air intake systems, for which a penalty of $655 was imposed but appears to be settled. While some historical violations have been resolved, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations and the numerous active violations related to low-pressure inspection filings suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
