2311 65th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

2311 65th Street is a four-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1927 in the Borough Park neighborhood, currently owned by Josh Friedman. The building has experienced persistent pest-related issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests recorded between 2018 and 2024, including three separate pest complaints in 2024 alone (April, July, and October).

A specific pest infestation in Apartment C3 was documented in December 2022, resulting in open violations for both roaches and mice. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning safety and building code violations, including unaddressed carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues in January 2020, an open violation regarding an illegally fastened roof bulkhead door from December 2022, and previous violations related to fire escape obstructions and garbage management. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, though recent filings from 2022 through 2024 indicate no active infestations or previous infestations that were successfully eradicated.

A gas utility complaint was investigated in June 2023 but resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access. The building's 311 service request history shows repeated attempts by HPD inspectors to address various complaints, particularly regarding unsanitary conditions, though access issues have often prevented proper inspections. While some historical violations have been resolved, including various repairs related to fire escapes and exterior maintenance, the recurring nature of pest complaints and some open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
