351 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

351 Van Brunt Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Lisa Azzarelli. The property has experienced recurring issues with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all citing failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also faced several significant structural and safety challenges, most notably in 2019 when a dangerous condition was identified regarding a freestanding chimney that was reportedly moving and not properly braced to the building. This situation prompted multiple complaints and violations, including a $2,500 penalty for failure to maintain building walls, though records indicate the chimney repair work was eventually completed and signed off in May 2020 under job number 322007760. More recent concerns include an indoor air quality complaint in January 2023 that resulted in an advisory to the property management.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to regulatory compliance, as evidenced by the dismissal of several previous violations, including for failure to file boiler inspection reports, though this suggests a pattern of delayed compliance rather than consistent upkeep. A 2023 violation for not filing the 2021 external low-pressure inspection was also dismissed. While the building appears to have resolved some of its more critical structural issues, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations and recent air quality complaint suggest continued attention to building maintenance and regulatory compliance is needed.
