1702 Avenue Z, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The seven-story, 10-unit building at 1702 Avenue Z in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Vadim Brom, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing regulatory compliance issues. Most recently, the building has two open violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The property has a concerning pattern of elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2020 and 2025, including failures to provide access for inspections and safety concerns with doors and equipment. There have been persistent food establishment compliance issues, with two recent complaints in 2024 regarding unpermitted food service operations, and a history of rodent-related complaints that show a mix of passed and failed inspections between 2022 and 2023. The building has also faced various administrative and safety-related challenges, including non-compliance with energy efficiency score display requirements and FISP technical report filing, both classified as active violations in 2024.

Previous inspections documented problems with fire safety equipment, including sprinkler issues in 2020 and requirements for "In Case of Fire" signs, though many of these violations appear to have been resolved or closed. The property has experienced periodic health department interventions, including a vaccine mandate non-compliance incident in 2021 and multiple 311 service requests that were referred to or closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While some issues have been addressed and resolved, there remain several open violations and compliance matters that require attention, particularly regarding elevator safety and building maintenance requirements.
