636 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

636 President Street is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a cluster of problems reported in April 2022 including multiple emergency plumbing water supply issues, door problems in both the second and third-floor apartments, and various violations in Apartment 2 related to bathroom ceiling paint requirements and door self-closing mechanisms.

An unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed in late 2021, though housing preservation and development inspections found no violations. More recent inspections in 2023 revealed an outstanding violation for failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show no documented bedbug infestations or treatment activities, suggesting this issue may have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with rodent inspections conducted regularly between 2009 and 2017, including multiple bait applications in 2010 and pass results in 2011 and 2017.

Notable violations cited in 2022 included safety concerns such as defective self-closing doors in multiple apartments, the need for updated gas leak procedures posting in common areas, and a requirement to provide proper certification of inspection visits near mailboxes. While many of these violations were marked as closed, they indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance and regulatory compliance issues. The building's age and history of various maintenance issues, combined with relatively recent violations regarding door systems and safety procedures, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, though recent bedbug reports indicate this particular issue has been managed effectively.
