The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 705 Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Arthur Gabriel, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a heat/hot water issue reported and resolved in an individual apartment. Between 2020 and 2022, the building faced multiple heat and hot water problems, including building-wide outages in 2021 and 2019, with the 2021 incident leading to violations.

The property has also dealt with various plumbing and water supply issues, with two emergency complaints in January 2022, though no violations were issued. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with sanitation and safety, including multiple pest control issues (most recently in July 2022), garbage storage problems, and several building code violations. A notable cluster of violations was documented in July 2022, including broken mailboxes, defective plastered surfaces, and fire escape obstructions.

Safety-related concerns included missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2, and various fire safety maintenance issues affecting all floors. There are currently three active violations related to external low pressure inspections that have not been filed since 2021. Regarding pest management, the building has shown improvement in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last two filing periods (2023-2024), and only two eradicated units in early 2023. The building's rodent inspections in 2011 and 2013 were passed, indicating no significant rodent issues during those periods.
