697 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 697 Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Arthur Gabriel and built in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between October and November 2024, violations were recorded for unauthorized security modifications and improper unit reoccupancy during repairs in Apartments 4 and 6.
The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with a mouse sighting complaint in 2019 that resulted in a health department inspection, though a subsequent rodent inspection passed. Between 2020 and 2024, the property faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including the requirement to file annual bedbug reports (in 2021 and 2022), and problems with various building systems that led to environmental control board violations in 2020-2021 related to failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner.
Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning low-pressure system inspections; in 2023, violations were issued for failure to file the required inspections from 2018-2023, with the most recent active violation from September 2024 regarding the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The building experienced multiple instances of bedbug infestations in 2022-2024, though recent reports indicate no active infestations as of November 2023. While many past violations have been resolved or dismissed (including several immediately hazardous ECB violations from 2018-2019), the pattern of repeated violations and the recent unauthorized reoccupancy issues suggest ongoing management challenges.
