287 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-family home at 287 Newkirk Avenue in Kensington, owned by Anwarul Huque, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues over the past year, particularly concerning heating and sanitation. Most notably, there have been four documented heat and hot water complaints between November and December 2023, with the most recent complaint on December 17 remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues.

The building has also faced recurring sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage (August and October 2023) showing a mix of violation outcomes, and two significant pest-related complaints in July 2023 that resulted in violations. Additional maintenance issues recorded in July 2023 include problems with plumbing (basins/sinks) and flooring, though inspections for these complaints yielded different outcomes regarding violations. The property's complaint history reveals a pattern of ongoing infrastructure concerns, particularly regarding basic utility services like heat and hot water, which are critical for resident comfort and safety.

The building was constructed in 1920 and consists of two stories. An earlier complaint from January 2022 related to an access issue during a permit inspection, though this is now significantly dated compared to the more recent maintenance issues. The property currently has an active owner-occupied status, and while most recent complaints have been closed, several were marked as requiring new complaints for unresolved issues, indicating possible ongoing maintenance challenges.
