740 East 88th Street in Canarsie, owned by Kenyatta Nelson, is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2008. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 and earlier years (2024-2021), with one emergency response in August 2024.
The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with recent unsanitary conditions reported in mid-2025 and multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024 still listed as open. Significant safety concerns emerged in 2023 when the Department of Buildings issued a violation for obstructed egress caused by household items and flammable materials in common areas, resulting in a $6,250 penalty that remains active.

The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, with several cases where inspectors were unable to access units for verification.
