1416 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, six-unit building at 1416 Newkirk Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Solly Araman, has been standing since 1931 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property has maintained a consistent record of complying with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested dwelling units. Rodent-related concerns appear to have been effectively managed, with inspections conducted in 2019 and most recently in October 2024 both resulting in passing grades.

The building has accumulated some Health Department violations, including a food worker hygiene issue in late 2024 and a smoking violation in 2023, though these were addressed and closed. Significant building management actions include four Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, though these cases are marked as closed. There was one Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation in 2018 concerning unauthorized work involving a metal fence installation, which was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property owner's responsiveness to regulatory requirements is indicated by the timely filing of multiple bedbug reports over the last four years, showing proactive pest management despite the initial filing violations. The apartment building has faced minimal serious safety or habitability issues in recent years, with all inspections generally passing and no recorded patterns of recurring problems. The most recent building data from 2024 indicates that the property is maintaining compliance with current regulations, with no significant unresolved complaints or violations on record.
