2813 Shell Road, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 2813 Shell Road in Gravesend, owned by Zuber Nikovic and constructed in 2008, has had several maintenance issues requiring attention over the past several years. Most notably, in mid-2019, there were multiple appliance-related complaints, including those regarding an electric/gas range and refrigerator, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions.

During the same period, there were documented rodent sightings in 2019, including both mouse and rat incidents, with one investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) indicating potential official notification to the property owner. The building has also faced compliance challenges with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving Class A violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to submit the necessary annual bedbug reports to HPD.

However, it is worth noting that since the initial bedbug filing period in 2019-2020, there have been no recorded infestations, with the most recent bedbug filings (2024-2025 period) indicating all three units were eradicated successfully, with zero re-infestations. The property has maintained closed status on these violations as of the most recent checks, and there have been no reported re-infestations in recent years, suggesting successful remediation of the original infestation issues.
