519 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 519 Kings Highway in Gravesend, owned by Rochelle Baraka, has experienced some noteworthy issues since its construction in 1931. Most significantly, in late 2019, there were reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, which were classified as emergency complaints under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to these complaints, they were unable to gain access for inspection, resulting in the case being closed without resolution. It's important to note that these complaints were filed on October 20, 2019, and closed on November 12 of the same year, with a related Housing Maintenance Code complaint also being closed on November 13.

Prior to these incidents, the building underwent an initial rodent inspection on May 1, 2013, which resulted in a passing grade. Given the time elapsed since the last recorded complaint or inspection in 2019, there have been no reported issues or inspections related to pest problems in recent years. The building's structure is typical of its class, consisting of two stories and containing two units, and while the 2019 complaints indicate some historical pest issues, the most recent records show no ongoing or recurring problems.
