750 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 2-family house at 750 Coney Island Avenue in Kensington, built in 1925, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2019-2020. The building had multiple heating and hot water system failures, with several emergency complaints recorded between December 2019 and October 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. During this period, tenants reported heat and hot water problems on at least eight separate occasions.

Additionally, the property faced pest-related challenges, with confirmed infestations of bedbugs and roaches documented in 2nd-floor apartments in December 2019, resulting in multiple housing maintenance code violations that were certified as abated in November 2022. Other maintenance issues included electrical problems (outlets/switches) and door/window concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. More recently, the building experienced a violation in June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection report, though this was dismissed by the Department of Buildings in August 2023.

While the heating system issues appear to have decreased significantly after 2020, the building experienced multiple access issues during inspection attempts, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to apartments during several heat/hot water complaints. The most recent available inspection for rodent issues was conducted in June 2011, with a passing result recorded at that time. The current ownership structure of the building is through 750 Coney Island Avenue LLC, which has been in place since at least 2020.
