1869 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1869 Coney Island Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Midwood, Brooklyn, and owned by Sami Realestate Holdings Corp. The building, constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring pest-related issues, particularly with rodent sightings, with the most recent reports occurring in 2023 and notable clusters of complaints between 2022-2023.

While multiple rodent inspections were conducted during this period, showing both "passed" and "rat activity" results, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found violations on at least one occasion in 2022. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two filing periods (2021-2022 and 2020-2021), showing no infested units or re-infestations. The building has undergone several safety-related inspections between 2019 and 2020, primarily focused on emergency systems including carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards.

While these inspections were conducted, no violations were issued, and the complaints were closed. However, there is currently an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and there are several past housing maintenance code violations related to various infrastructure issues, including a 2019 incident involving unauthorized items in a public hall and concerns about window guards in common areas. The property has consistently filed its annual bedbug report, with no documented infestations, though it is worth noting that the most recent filing could be interpreted as potentially inconsistent ("0 infested" units when a previous violation was noted).
