1706 Avenue V, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1706 Avenue V in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Malka Elazeh, was constructed in 1927 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years.

Most significantly, in 2020, there were reported problems with water leaks and mold (classified as an emergency condition) that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions and ultimately closed the complaints. In 2021, the building received a Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was ultimately closed. More recently, in late 2023 and continuing into 2024, there was a smoking violation addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has since been administratively closed.

The building's bedbug reporting history over the past five years (2019-2024) shows a consistent pattern of non-infestation, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during each reporting period. The most recent bedbug report, filed in December 2024, covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024 and shows no issues, continuing the pattern of the previous five reports. The most significant health and safety concerns on record relate to the 2020 moisture and mold issues, though these were not confirmed due to inspection access issues.
