8905 Avenue B, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, three-unit building at 8905 Avenue B in East Flatbush, owned by Marie Jean, was constructed in 1935 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, with all four violations remaining open as of 2023. The building has had recurrent heating system problems, with complaints about no heat or hot water filed in January and March of 2019, though these were reported as resolved by HPD inspections.

A power outage incident occurred in July 2020, which was also investigated by HPD with no violations found. The most substantial concerns were documented in March 2019, following an inspection of Apartment 1 which revealed multiple significant issues including mold (2 sq. ft.

in bathroom), water leak problems, and infestations of both mice and roaches. Additional violations from this inspection documented the need for repairs to window sashes, bathroom plaster and paint issues, and various other interior maintenance needs, though many of these violations are classified as "C" (critical) or "B" (major). While a rodent inspection in June 2018 had passed, the subsequent violations suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The building's age and history suggest a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat systems and pest control, though many past complaints have been resolved through HPD interventions or inspections.
