790 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

790 Classon Avenue is a 5-story, 13-unit brick tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Solomon Schwimmer. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with plumbing and water-related problems being particularly notable. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a documented slow water leak that was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations being found.

The building experienced multiple plumbing-related complaints in March 2020, including issues with water supply and toilet facilities, though these were addressed and closed. Earlier concerns from 2019 included water leak and ceiling plaster problems, though inspectors were unable to access the unit for verification at that time. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passing results, though there were indications of rat activity in Summer 2023 along with a rat-related complaint in 2021.

Notably, no bedbug infestations have been reported in the building since 2019, with annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building has undergone several HPD inspections between 2019-2024, with some resulting in violations while others found no issues, including a 2021 rodent complaint that had no violations issued. While the building is over a century old and shows typical age-related maintenance issues, the regular inspections and absence of serious violations in recent years suggest that most major concerns have been addressed promptly.
