678 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 678 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Anderson Webster and constructed in 1926, has experienced several notable issues and regulatory interactions over the past several years. The property has faced recurring challenges with compliance to bedbug reporting requirements, receiving four consecutive Class A housing maintenance code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings from May 2024 indicate no current infestations.

The building's pest management issues extended to rodent concerns, with a rat sighting reported in October 2020 prompting Department of Health inspections, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2021 and December 2019 had passing results, and an initial rat activity finding in November 2020 was eventually resolved. The building's maintenance history includes a significant plumbing incident in late 2019 that resulted in a stop work order and a revoked master plumber application in early 2020, though this was resolved by February 2020 with a new permit being issued.

The property has maintained reasonable compliance with health and safety inspections, passing rodent inspections in 2021 and December 2019, and filing bedbug reports indicating no infestations in 2021 and 2024, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations suggest some administrative oversight challenges. While the building's age naturally brings some maintenance challenges, the recent years' records indicate improvements in pest management reporting, though the historical pattern of violations suggests monitoring of compliance processes should be maintained.
