1002 Avenue H, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1002 Avenue H is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Sy Moskowitz. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most concerning problems involving heat/hot water service and pest control. In early 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with one emergency complaint regarding total loss of service affecting the entire building.

The building has had recurring rodent issues, with multiple service requests and inspections showing rat activity and mouse sightings documented by both DOHMH and HPD throughout 2025. The second floor apartment (2B) was cited for a roach and mouse infestation in August 2024, and the fourth floor apartment (4F) had multiple violations in 2024 including lack of hot water and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. The building's elevator system has been a consistent source of concern, with multiple complaints and violations regarding single device operation and inadequate maintenance between 2019 and 2024, including Oath violations served in 2023.

Recent documentation shows that pest control measures are being actively implemented, with multiple bait application inspections recorded between January and July 2025. Other recent maintenance issues include problems with electrical outlets, water leaks, and various building systems requiring attention as documented in 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with zero infested units reported in annual filings from 2019 through 2024, the ongoing pest control challenges suggest continued attention to sanitation and building maintenance is required.
