306 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit residential building at 306 12th Street in Brooklyn's South Slope neighborhood, owned by Margaret Chan and constructed in 2007, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in December 2024, there were complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

This followed a consistent pattern of building-wide heat and hot water issues, with similar complaints recorded in December 2024 that were classified as emergency situations. The building has also faced repeated regulatory compliance challenges, specifically regarding bedbug reporting requirements.

Between 2021 and 2024, four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued to the property for not filing the required annual bedbug reports, with these violations occurring on March 10, 2021; March 31, 2022; April 17, 2023, and April 2024. Despite these violations, the official bedbug reporting records for the building show no documented infestations during the reporting periods from 2020-2021 through 2023-2024, with all listed unit counts for infested dwellings, eradicated units, and re-infested units showing as zero. The most recent bedbug report filings (April 2024 and April 2023) covered periods from November 2022 to October 2023 and November 2021 to October 2022 respectively, showing consistent compliance with the reporting requirement following the previous violations, though the building's history of violations suggests prior lapses in compliance with this particular regulation.
