788 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

788 Classon Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Dennis Ovalle. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2025 (most recently in May 2025) and several similar incidents in 2024 and 2021.

These building-wide heating problems have generally been addressed by HPD inspections, with violations issued and some cases including restoration of services during inspections, though in some instances access for verification was not granted. The building's heat and hot water system appears to require ongoing attention, as evidenced by the frequency of these complaints. More recently, the building has faced rodent-related challenges, with three rat activity inspections conducted between May 2024 and June 2025, including an initial inspection showing activity in June 2025.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since at least 2019, with no reported infestations or related issues in any of the six consecutive annual bedbug reports. Additionally, the Department of Buildings issued a permit in December 2023, though the specific nature of the work associated with this permit is not detailed in the provided data. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, it has demonstrated effective pest control management through regular inspections and timely reporting.
