923 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

923 Utica Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story tenement building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by David Daley. The property has experienced significant ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants from January 2024 through March 2025, including several building-wide and individual apartment complaints that HPD struggled to inspect due to access issues.

The building received violations in late 2024 requiring attention to various safety and maintenance issues, including the need to repair a broken skylight frame, address construction material encumbrances in public hall areas, and handle a mouse infestation in apartment 3F. All violations from this inspection were certified as resolved by December 2024, including the posting of required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures. The building has documented a bedbug infestation issue between November 2022 and October 2023, with three units affected according to the most recent report filed in July 2025, though no units were marked as eradicated or re-infested.

Historical records show fewer concerns in earlier years, with a period of relative stability between 2020-2022 when no significant infestations were reported. The property had one safety-related complaint in 2022 regarding smoke detectors, which was resolved without violations. The building's heating system appears to be the most persistent issue affecting tenant comfort and requiring ongoing attention, as evidenced by repeated service requests and emergency complaints over the past year.
