2179 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The property at 2179 Coney Island Avenue in Sheepshead Bay is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1932, currently owned by the Ronide Cayo Irrevocable Living Trust. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being ongoing rodent problems, as evidenced by recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and a May 2025 DOHMH complaint. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between 2019-2023 showing residents were unable to gain access for inspections, though at least one January 2023 inspection found no violations.
There have been two separate pest-related complaints in September 2023, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection. Significant violations were recorded in 2023, including multiple issues requiring attention: broken self-closing doors at various building entrances, regulatory compliance issues with hot water temperature in Apartment 1R, and concerns about fire egress. The building has also faced structural and maintenance challenges, including wall damage in Apartment 1R, and previous issues with cooking gas and water leaks.
Of particular note, in 2022, there was an investigation regarding an unauthorized cellar conversion, with active violations related to improper habitation and construction work without permits, though some related violations were resolved. The property has documented its bedbug status with no reported infestations between November 2021 and October 2022. Recent building inspections in July 2025 confirmed continuing rodent activity, despite previous inspections showing "No Violation Warranted" for complaints.
