789 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, two-family house at 789 Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Bruce Adler, has been documented as encountering several significant maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2ND FL) during a notable incident in August 2019. This incident, which spanned several days from August 27 to August 30 and prompted both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, revealed multiple violations that raised concerns about resident safety and comfort.

The 2ND FL apartment was found to have substantial maintenance problems, including defective wooden flooring in the kitchen, broken ceramic tile flooring in the bathroom, and issues with the metal ceiling in the kitchen, all of which were classified as violations under the Administrative Code requiring proper repair with similar materials. More concerning were the health and safety violations, including documented infestations of roaches and mice throughout the apartment, and the absence of required carbon monoxide detecting devices, which were classified as Class B violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building is a 1930 construction, typical for its class in Brooklyn, offering two family units across three stories, and has been under the ownership of Bruce Adler. While the documented violations from 2019 indicate a period of significant maintenance challenges, it's important to note that there is no available information on the resolution status of these violations as of the latest data cutoff in October 2023. The relatively recent nature of these violations, coupled with their range from structural to health and safety concerns, suggests that this building experienced a notable period of disrepair, though the current condition as of July 2025 cannot be definitively determined based on the available data.
