980 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 980 Coney Island Avenue in Kensington, owned by Iftikhar Din, was constructed in 1933 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over recent years. Most notably, there have been two recent heating/hot water complaints in the past two years (2023-2024), including a November 2023 emergency complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues. The building has experienced ongoing compliance challenges, including four consecutive years (2018-2024) receiving violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

In 2018, multiple open violations were documented regarding safety notices that need to be posted in common areas, including gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and a notice about the agency's housing information guide in both English and Spanish. The property has also faced structural and maintenance issues, particularly between 2019-2020, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to building maintenance and repairs, including problems with the cornice and loose bricks. These resulted in fines totaling $12,500.

A pattern of rodent activity was recorded in 2019, though subsequent inspections in 2022 showed passing results for rodent inspections. The building's plumbing systems have required attention, with HPD responding to a sewer complaint in 2018, though no violations were issued from that inspection. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug eradication (reporting no infested units in the last two annual filings), the persistent nature of the previous violations and the recent heating issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
