1373 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, two-family house at 1373 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Arman Ohevshalom, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, in early 2019, there was a cluster of related problems in Apartment 1A, including multiple pest infestations (bedbugs, mice, roaches), water-related issues (leaky faucets, toilet problems), and deteriorating interior conditions (defective plaster and paint surfaces, broken cabinet and light switch). These issues resulted in multiple violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some being classified as emergency conditions.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's exterior and structural elements. In 2025, a complaint about a bulging/cracked wall was recorded and resulted in an Oath Violation being served. In early 2021, there were issues with water drainage and an improperly positioned PVC pipe near the front door, which also resulted in an Oath Violation.

The property has multiple active violations regarding failure to file required annual boiler and low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2023, indicating potential concerns with the building's heating system maintenance. These violations were issued in November 2019, June 2023, and September 2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with mandatory safety inspections for the building's mechanical systems. The building's recent history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address the outstanding violations related to mechanical systems and the past pest issues documented in 2019. While some structural concerns have been addressed (e.g., a sidewalk shed was erected in compliance with a 2025 violation), the pattern of violations suggests a need for consistent property maintenance attention.
