642 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 642 Coney Island Avenue in Kensington, owned by Gershon Matiteeb and constructed in 1930, has multiple ongoing compliance issues that warrant attention. Most notably, the building has accumulated an extensive list of active violations related to failure to file required External Low Pressure inspections from 2019 through 2023, with these violations documented in 2023 and most recently in September 2024.

Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of unaddressed Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug report filings, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, indicating a lack of compliance with mandatory pest reporting requirements over multiple years. A historical construction-related incident was recorded in February 2019, when a Full Stop Work Order was served at the property, though this complaint was later closed.

The building's maintenance record shows some positive aspects, including passing a rodent inspection conducted in November 2019, suggesting generally acceptable conditions at that time. However, the current violation landscape, particularly the repeated failures to complete required safety inspections and file necessary reports, raises questions about the building's ongoing maintenance compliance. While the building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its original construction period, the persistent pattern of violations over multiple years suggests a need for improved oversight of maintenance requirements.
