420 Westminster Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit building at 420 Westminster Road in Flatbush, owned by Marcia Prince, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has ongoing open violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, as required under § HMC.

Additionally, there are multiple open violations from 2018 that continue to impact building safety and compliance, including the need to post proper carbon monoxide detector requirements, address window guard deficiencies throughout public areas, and provide proper gas leak procedures in common areas. During an August 2018 inspection, various issues were documented including painted sprinkler heads in the third-story public hall, heating system access concerns on the first story, and a defective door frame at the entrance to the third-floor apartment. The building has also experienced multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints in August 2018, including issues with mold, ceiling and wall damage, and pest problems, though most of these were addressed through inspections that resulted in either violations or corrections.

The most recent inspection records available through October 2023 show that while some historical issues have been addressed, there remains a pattern of unmet compliance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting. A 2019 complaint regarding site conditions endangering workers was investigated and found not to warrant violations. It's worth noting that the building's most recent recorded violations from 2018, which encompass various safety and maintenance issues, have not been marked as resolved or certified, suggesting ongoing attention may be required to address these long-standing compliance concerns.
