911 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

911 Newkirk Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Kensington, Brooklyn, and has been under the ownership of Tariq Khokhar since 2018. The building, constructed in 1901, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Most concerning are the four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, which remain open as of April 2024.

Additionally, there is an ongoing rodent-related complaint with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene since September 2021, which remains in progress. The building's maintenance history reveals structural concerns, particularly in 2018 when building safety was called into question. A building shaking complaint from July 2018 led to an Oath violation, and in August 2018, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding the front porch's condition, with a temporary shoring installed due to concerns about corrosion and potential collapse, resulting in a $625 penalty that has since been resolved.

While initial rodent inspections in November 2019 passed, the most recent rodent-related service request suggests ongoing issues. The building's records also show various 311 complaints, including a December 2016 smoke complaint and a 2018 elevator complaint, though details on the resolution of these issues are limited. The property has maintained active compliance with permit requirements, with at least one permit issued in September 2018. However, the pattern of open violations and ongoing complaints suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding required documentation and pest management.
