1758 Bath Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1758 Bath Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, and owned by Jeffrey Zagelbaum. The 1910 structure has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being a rat sighting reported to DOHMH in April 2025, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building has shown persistent rodent activity, with a rat activity finding in May 2025, though it passed a compliance inspection in June 2025. Health and safety concerns are evident in the most recent violations from March 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2F, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, visible mold, and bathroom maintenance problems such as a defective flushing apparatus and concerns with hot water temperature. The building's history includes multiple appliance complaints, including three related to electric/gas ranges in late 2023, though these were closed with no violations issued.

Earlier maintenance issues have included plumbing problems (water supply, radiator issues, and toilet concerns) and door/window maintenance needs, which were addressed through HPD interventions. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past four years, with no infestations reported in any unit during the specified reporting periods. While the building has passed several inspections, including a rodent compliance inspection in June 2025, the pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
