659 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, three-unit building at 659 Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville, owned by Audrey Alexis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable being a series of heat and hot water complaints in early 2022. Between February 12 and March 4, 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints filed regarding heat and hot water issues, with some resulting in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While some of these complaints were resolved with inspections showing no violations, others were marked as duplicates of existing building-wide issues. Additionally, the building has faced various maintenance violations, including several in 2022 related to unit 1A that required attention to a broken kitchen sink cabinet, window repairs, floor repairs, and door issues. The property also had illegal locking devices on gates in 2023 that were subsequently removed.

More recent activity includes two annual bedbug reports filed in 2023 and 2024 (for the reporting periods of 2022-2023 and 2021-2022, respectively) showing no infestation cases, which indicates that the building is currently free of bedbug issues. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 pertained to the filing of annual bedbug reports, while a complaint about work without a permit from May 2022 was investigated and found no violations. Notably, most of the building's documented issues appear to have been addressed, with multiple violations from 2022 being marked as closed, and the building's systems and maintenance appear to have stabilized in more recent years, with no new heat or hot water complaints recorded since 2022.
