1456 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 1456 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, owned by David Rose and constructed in 1927, has experienced several maintenance and repair issues in recent years. Most notably in September 2024, multiple service requests were made regarding door/window problems, paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, an intercom system malfunction, and plumbing concerns involving a basin/sink.

Despite being classified as both emergency and non-emergency issues, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to perform necessary inspections for these complaints. Prior to this, in September 2023, there was an investigation of water leak issues and another general complaint regarding the intercom system, though no violations were issued in these cases. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 4 (third story), where violations were recorded in 2023 for various problems including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water leaks, and maintenance of plaster surfaces and paint.

In 2018, multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring issues were filed, resulting in violations for working without proper permits and continuing work despite stop work orders, with associated fines totaling $8,500. Despite these concerns, bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate no infestations during the past five years, and recent reports from 2024 and 2023 show no dwelling units affected. The building's recent complaints pattern suggests ongoing maintenance concerns that have persisted into 2024, particularly relating to building systems and interior maintenance, though many recent complaints have been closed without inspection verification due to access issues.
