664 New York Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 6-story, 37-unit building at 664 New York Avenue, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, built in 2016 and owned by Barry Farkas, has experienced significant infrastructure issues in 2025. Most notably, there was a cluster of electrical problems reported in May 2025, including multiple power outages and lighting failures, some affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were particularly concerning as HPD inspectors repeatedly faced access issues and were unable to complete their investigations.
Other recent issues include heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, pest infestations, and appliance concerns. The building's history also reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple open violations including pest infestations (roaches in apartment 5G and mice in apartment 6A), building code compliance issues, and various necessary repairs related to plaster surfaces and cabinets. While some violations have been closed, there are multiple open Class A and C violations from 2024 involving necessary repairs to the building's infrastructure and systems.
The property underwent several inspections during construction in 2020-2021, revealing multiple safety violations related to construction practices, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed mixed results, with some indicating rat activity, though the most recent December 2024 inspection passed. The property has also faced challenges with compliance requirements, as evidenced by multiple violations for failing to file energy benchmarking reports, though these were ultimately dismissed.
