707 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 3-story, 5-unit residential building at 707 Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Ayaz Siddiqui, has been facing ongoing regulatory challenges since 2020. Most notably, there is a pattern of open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements that have persisted from 2021 through 2024, representing Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC).

The building experienced several maintenance issues in November 2020, including heat/hot water problems and appliance malfunctions (electric/gas range and refrigerator). While these specific complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were issued, they indicate potential concerns with building systems. Additional violations from November 2020 included a Class C violation for mice infestation in a third-story apartment (which was subsequently closed) and various Class B violations regarding encumbrances in public hallways (including strollers and household items).

The building has also faced safety compliance issues, specifically regarding the need to post proper notices about housing information and gas leak procedures, though these Class A violations were closed in January 2021. A Department of Buildings permit was issued in November 2018, suggesting prior maintenance or improvement work was planned or completed. While many of the historical violations have been resolved, the continued presence of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024 is particularly noteworthy, though no specific infestation outbreaks are recorded in recent data.
