626 East 35th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The six-story, 35-unit residential building at 626 East 35th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Mursel Kabakci and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including mold in apartment 2A (2021) and a history of pest infestations in multiple units (2018-2021), with the most recent bedbug reports showing one infested unit each year from 2021 to 2024, though all were reportedly eradicated. The building has faced multiple emergencies related to basic services, including a heat and hot water failure affecting the entire building in February 2020, and safety concerns regarding broken window guards in September 2019.

There were also violations related to energy benchmarking reporting, with active violations noted for 2019-2020, though previous notices from 2020 were dismissed upon confirmation of submission. The building's recent history shows some improvements, with all recent bedbug reports indicating successful eradication of infestations. The property has undergone multiple inspections by agencies such as HPD and DOHMH, with mixed results; while some complaints resulted in violations being issued, others were resolved without citations.

A rodent inspection conducted in September 2021 passed, though there were earlier rodent sightings reported in May 2021. The building's management has generally complied with resolution requirements for various violations, including cleaning mold from bathroom surfaces in apartment 2A and addressing pest-related violations in apartment 2C. However, the pattern of recurring pest issues and occasional service disruptions suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent habitability standards.
