1067 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit building at 1067 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Yariv Aharony and constructed in 1931, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in February 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. Significant ongoing maintenance issues include multiple active violations from August 2023 related to Apartment 2R involving gas supply problems and pest infestations (both roaches and mice).

The building has a concerning history of water-related issues, with multiple incidents including a slow leak in August 2023 and plumbing problems affecting Apartment 1R's bathroom in January 2022, though inspection results for these cases vary from violations issued to conditions being corrected. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints between 2020-2024, including an emergency complaint in December 2020. There are also multiple outstanding violations related to basic infrastructure, including a broken entrance door lock (2022) and various maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and HPD inspections.

Recent inspection records from 2024 indicate the building failed to file required bedbug reports and annual inspection certificates, suggesting possible regulatory compliance issues. While some violations have been closed, including those related to appliance issues (gas range and electric range), there remain several open violations that require attention. The building's overall history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, plumbing, and pest control, though recent bedbug reporting shows no current infestations as of May 2024.
