375 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 375 State Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Terrence Lowenberg and built in 1905, has experienced recurring heat and water service issues over the past five years. Notably, there were multiple documented heat/hot water complaints in late 2022 and 2023, including three separate emergency complaints regarding the entire building in December 2022, though these were subsequently verified as corrected according to HPD records. More recently, in September 2024, the building received a rodent-related complaint that was classified as requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with additional rodent activity confirmed in October and December 2024 requiring bait application.

The building was previously cited for various maintenance issues in 2019, including problems with doors, windows, and unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests. A significant heating system violation was recorded in 2019 regarding a defective cold radiator in apartment 5C, though this was certified as corrected in March 2019. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with five consecutive annual reports (from 2019 to 2024) showing no infested units or re-infestations.

An external low-pressure inspection violation from 2018 was issued in June 2023 but was dismissed by January 2025. While the building has undergone regular rodent inspections in recent years, with bait application being necessary in both 2024 and 2016, the situation appears to have improved since the more intensive baiting periods of 2016-2019. The building's heat and water system has required attention over the years, though recent complaints have been addressed through proper channels, with no violations being issued for several complaints. The property has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements, maintaining documentation of zero infestations.
