356 88th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 356 88th Street in Fort Hamilton, built in 1915 and currently owned by Khaled Haimed, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Between 2022 and 2024, the property accumulated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation from April 2024 still remaining open.

During 2021, there were three critical Department of Buildings complaints that were closed, including concerns about illegal commercial use in a residential zone, certificate of occupancy issues, and unauthorized construction work. Most notably, a December 2021 Environmental Control Board violation confirmed the illegal operation of a daycare center in the building's first floor level, though this violation was later resolved with no penalties due.

The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns: an active ECB violation from July 2021 related to unapproved construction work with a $1,250 penalty, and a 2022 violation regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, though this was dismissed. The bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements from 2019 through 2022, with no reported infestations during the 2019-2021 and 2020-2021 reporting periods. Despite the building being over 100 years old, the most pressing current issues appear to be the unresolved bedbug reporting violations from 2023 and 2024, which have persisted through multiple reporting periods.
