701 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

701 Coney Island Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930, located in the Flatbush neighborhood and currently owned by Arthur Gabriel. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in late 2024 and early 2025, there was a water supply issue that HPD attempted to inspect but was unable to complete the inspection.

The building has faced recurring infrastructure challenges, including multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water (2018), cooking gas (2018), and electrical power outages (2018). In 2021, there were serious structural concerns documented, including a bulging wall in the basement that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $9,375.00. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several violations requiring attention, including improper door closure devices at building entrances and issues with window guards in public areas.

The property has a documented history of pest management, with bedbug reports showing some cases between 2022-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. The building's maintenance history shows periods of neglect, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were issued regarding refuse accumulation in the rear yard and fire passageway obstructions. While most violations have been resolved, including a notable instance of work done without proper permits in 2018 regarding gas line and piping installation, the building's recent inspection history shows ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly concerning safety features like door closures and window guards.
