382 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 382 Butler Street in Park Slope, owned by Thomas Higgins, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges since its construction in 1986. The property has persistent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, particularly involving pests, with three separate complaints recorded in late 2020 and early 2021 resulting in violations.

In December 2020, there were also violations related to flooring issues, though other complaints during that period concerning electrical lighting and garbage storage did not result in violations. More recently, the building has been cited for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with pest management requirements. The building underwent several emergency repairs in early 2020, including mold remediation and plumbing work in January, along with general repairs to the ventilation system and an electric range.

A notable rodent infestation was reported in March 2021, specifically affecting the first-floor apartment, though subsequent inspections passed between 2018 and 2020. The property has also had various security and safety concerns addressed, including self-closing door requirements for the building's front entry and vestibule, though these violations were eventually closed. While the building's overall condition has shown periods of improvement, the recurring nature of pest-related issues and recent bedbug reporting violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
