2606 Cropsey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2606 Cropsey Avenue is a 12-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1975, currently owned by Albert Yakhnin. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and health issues in recent years, most notably related to water management and indoor air quality. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding standing water, sewage odors, and drainage problems, with some incidents resulting in summonses and follow-up inspections. The building also faced significant heat and hot water issues in December 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these problems were reportedly resolved after inspections.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations relating to fire safety, building security, and general maintenance. In 2023, violations were issued regarding self-closing doors and various building surface repairs. The property has documented rat activity in recent rodent inspections, with the most recent reports in early 2025 indicating continued pest control challenges. While bedbug reports for the property between 2018-2023 show no recorded infestations, the building's overall maintenance record suggests persistent challenges with maintaining basic building systems and infrastructure.

The building's history also includes various complaints regarding construction work and plumbing systems, though many of these complaints were found to warrant no violations upon inspection. Notable maintenance work has been documented through housing maintenance code complaints, including issues with windows, stairs, roofing, and plumbing systems. While some violations have been promptly addressed and closed, including those related to HVAC systems and fire safety equipment, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The property has had multiple inspection attempts in recent years where inspectors were unable to gain access, though most complaints have been investigated and resolved through required corrections or advisories to management.
