336 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

336 State Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by John McLellan. The property has experienced several noteworthy health and safety concerns over recent years, with the most significant being a food-related complaint currently in progress as of June 2025, for which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has issued official notifications to the owner regarding potential violations. The building has a documented history of food-related incidents, including spoiled food in 2022 and a food poisoning case in 2021 that was deemed isolated by the Health Department.

Between June and September 2019, there was a concerning pattern of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports of rat sightings and signs of rodents. The building underwent several rodent inspections in 2019-2020, with initial rat activity identified in November 2019, followed by multiple bait applications through 2020, though a Compliance inspection in January 2020 resulted in a "Passed" status. More recent issues have emerged primarily related to building code compliance and unauthorized modifications.

In 2023, the building faced penalties for an illegal business accessory sign with associated electrical work, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation, though no penalty was imposed. Two inspection attempts in late 2023-2024 for Local Law 188/17 compliance and vent/exhaust concerns were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." The building has active permits from 2019 for elevator and plumbing work, indicating some maintenance and improvement efforts were undertaken. While some issues have been addressed, the current food establishment complaint and recent access issues for inspections suggest ongoing monitoring of building conditions.
