724 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

724 Classon Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Gamal Hasan. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns regarding water-related problems being particularly prominent. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including a recent case from May 2023 involving damp spots that resulted in issued violations.

The building has also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, notably in December 2022 when there were violations related to inadequate hot water in Apartment 5. Other maintenance issues have included problems with windows and doors, as demonstrated by violations related to window frames and mailbox conditions in late 2021. The property currently has several open violations from late 2023, including multiple issues affecting Apartment 5 such as water leak problems, defective plaster surfaces, and window maintenance needs.

Notably, there are also infrastructure concerns affecting common areas, including required repairs to fire retardant materials, public hall stairs, and the roof to address leaks. Additionally, the building faces administrative violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2023 and 2024, which is particularly concerning for resident health and safety. The Department of Buildings records show multiple active violations from 2018 to 2024 related to external low-pressure inspections that have not been filed, indicating potential issues with building infrastructure maintenance. Recent rodent inspections show variable results, with both a passed inspection in 2023 and an active rat activity report in 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.
