9423 Avenue A, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, three-unit building at 9423 Avenue A in East Flatbush, owned by Hubert Gooden, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021. Most pressing is the current property with multiple active violations related to non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements spanning from 2021 through 2024.

Notably, in October 2021, the property was the subject of emergency complaints regarding flooring and door issues, with additional concerns about structural stability when vibrating/shaking was reported. These problems were serious enough to generate two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in December 2021, including one related to a partially collapsed floor section approximately 6 feet in diameter in the cellar, with associated penalties of $6,250 for each violation due to failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner. While some of the initial 2021 complaints about flooring and door issues were resolved within two days, the more substantial structural concerns have persisted, resulting in additional violations for failure to certify corrections on hazardous conditions, though this particular violation was dismissed in September 2023 after payment was made.

The building's maintenance history from 2021 through 2024 reveals a pattern of persistent regulatory non-compliance, with particular attention required to the bedbug reporting violations that remain open as of 2024. The property, built in 1920, has undergone a conversion to Class A status, but the documentation shows multiple instances of emergency complaints being filed and subsequent violations related to both structural maintenance and housing maintenance code compliance. The most recent available data through 2025 indicates that while some issues have been addressed, significant outstanding violations remain that affect the current compliance status of the building.
