730 Avenue L, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-family house at 730 Avenue L in Midwood, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ariel Akkad, has experienced several maintenance issues recently that warrant attention. Most notably, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to windows, including both window panes and frames, leading to emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance code violations.

Additionally, there were significant concerns about flooring, with multiple complaints about floor conditions in various parts of the building, some classified as emergencies. There were also serious sanitary issues reported, with multiple complaints about pest infestations that HPD was unable to inspect properly, as well as one incident of mold that was inspected but resulted in no violations.

Prior to these recent issues, there was an active complaint about illegal conversion filed in March 2025, though HPD reportedly could not complete the inspection on their first attempt in April 2025. The building's recent maintenance history raises concerns about the overall upkeep and habitability of the property, particularly regarding basic infrastructure elements like windows and floors, as well as ongoing pest control challenges. While some of the June complaints resulted in violations and inspections, others were simply noted as uncompleted inspections, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
