345 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 345 42nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Shu Hui Jin and constructed in 1922, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in its top-floor apartment (3F). Most notably, a comprehensive inspection on December 7, 2023 revealed multiple open violations in apartment 3F, including serious concerns such as defects in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, missing window guards, and both hot water and pest infestations.
The apartment was found to have no volume hot water at the kitchen sink, defective heating systems, and temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit at bathroom fixtures. The building's recent history shows regular pest-related complaints, with the most recent three filed in December 2023 and one from September 2022, including mouse infestation and roach problems that require abatement.
The property has also accumulated several open violations requiring action, such as the need to file an annual bedbug report and address various building code infractions. While some past complaints, including a heat/hot water issue from December 2023, were resolved without violations, the current pattern of open violations and recurring pest issues suggests persistent challenges with building maintenance and tenant safety compliance.
