348 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

348 State Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Boerum Hill and constructed in 1920, currently owned by George Gayle. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five documented complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2021-2022, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored following the most recent complaints in May 2022. The building has also faced safety concerns, with four emergency safety complaints in September 2018 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

An inspection in October 2018 revealed several regulatory violations, including problems with self-closing doors, missing balusters in the stairway, and issues with sprinkler head replacement in Apartment 1, as well as a lack of required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Two bedbug reporting violations were noted in 2021 and 2023 regarding failure to file annual reports, though the most recent bedbug reports (2025) show no infestation issues across all reporting periods since 2019, indicating successful resolution of this matter. The building's maintenance history includes three boiler complaints in November 2020, though inspections did not warrant any violations at the time.

All HPD and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to heat and safety systems were eventually closed, though several violations from the 2018 inspection remain open as of October 2023, including issues with door closers, stair balusters, and missing safety devices. The property's bedbug reporting record shows consistently zero infestations or related issues since 2019, with the most recent filings in 2025 confirming the absence of such problems. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, recent bedbug reports indicate successful pest management, and the heat system appears to have stabilized since 2022, though the persistence of certain violations from the 2018 inspection warrants attention.
