389 Douglass Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 389 Douglass Street in Park Slope, owned by Peggy Hernandez, has been standing since 1910 and has experienced several notable events over the past few years. The most significant recent maintenance issues occurred in August 2019, when two Class C violations were recorded: one concerning defective self-closing doors in the south entrance at the cellar, and another involving multiple defective window guards throughout the second-floor apartment, which was subsequently certified as corrected by August 29, 2019. The building has shown consistent pest management with no reports of bedbug infestations over the past seven consecutive years (2018-2024), with all annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Rodent inspections have been generally positive, with a notable failed inspection in March 2011 for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections in 2011 and 2018 passed successfully. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for the property over recent years, with three permits recorded under job number 321703689 in 2018 (two for electrical work in August-September) and two in 2019 (one for plumbing work in June). The most recent permit was issued in October 2022 for plumbing work.

These permits suggest ongoing regular maintenance and infrastructure work being performed at the property. While the building has experienced some maintenance violations, the prompt resolution of the window guard issue and the absence of recurring pest problems indicate generally responsible property management practices. The three-unit configuration and historic designation as an Old Law Tenement building place this property within a specific category of Brooklyn residential buildings that date back to the early 20th century.
