345 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 345 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Musleh Alomari, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2018. Most recently, in 2025, there were concerns about electrical wiring that required HPD inspection, though access could not be obtained for verification. The building has faced significant challenges with rodent control, particularly evident in 2024-2025, with multiple baiting operations conducted and documented rat activity in December 2024 and April 2025.

Between 2021 and 2022, there were several rodent-related complaints filed with DOHMH, though inspections sometimes faced access issues. Earlier building systems concerns included multiple plumbing complaints in 2018 regarding water supply issues, which prompted emergency responses from HPD, though access was often a barrier to confirming violations. The building's documented history includes three annual Bedbug Reports for 2021-2023 showing zero infested units, which may indicate successful management of this particular issue.

An electrical wiring complaint in 2023 was investigated but did not warrant violation status at the time of inspection. Several housing maintenance code violations were issued between 2021-2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these are classified as Class A violations and were subsequently closed. The property has undergone regular inspections and interventions by various agencies, including bait applications for rodent control continuing into 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. The building's age (built in 1930) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are notable, though these factors are typical for this type of residential structure in New York City.
