264 Avenue W, Brooklyn, NY 11223

264 Avenue W is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Gravesend, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Mae Jiang. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably with heating and hot water systems. Between late 2018 and March 2019, there were multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

While HPD responded to these emergencies and determined that heat and hot water had been restored, the pattern of complaints suggests this building experienced significant utility service challenges during that period. Additionally, in 2019, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to validate these claims. More recently, the building has had three consecutive violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though this was primarily an administrative issue rather than a direct concern about current infestations.

A 2019 complaint regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy was noted, but access was denied for inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of having no bedbug infestations or eradications in the official reports submitted from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have shown no currently active violations, though the building's historical record indicates challenges with access during several inspections, which may affect the ability to promptly address complaints.
