2869 West 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

2869 West 16th Street is a two-story, two-unit residential building located in Coney Island, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Needa Saleh. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in January 2021 when there were multiple reports of heat/hot water failures and electrical problems, including power outages and lighting issues, all of which were temporarily resolved though inspections revealed no violations.

More recently, the building has faced compliance challenges with bedbug reporting requirements, having open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. While the bedbug infestation reporting form from June 2020 shows no affected units between November 2018 and October 2019, the persistent violation for bedbug reporting suggests ongoing compliance issues.

The property has also undergone some external scrutiny, with a Department of Buildings complaint in December 2024 regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut or driveway, though this was closed in March 2025 with no violation warranted at the time of inspection. Other than these issues, the building's history shows no major safety concerns or violations that would significantly impact resident experience, and it passed a rodent inspection in March 2011, suggesting reasonable pest control measures were in place at that time. The combination of past heating and electrical issues in 2021 and the ongoing bedbug reporting violations are the primary areas of concern in the building's recent history.
