804 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

804 Classon Avenue is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1907 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Douglas Brooks. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, with the most recent significant issues involving pest problems and safety concerns. In October 2024, violations were documented in apartments 2A and 1A, including a roach infestation and a defective entrance lock, respectively.

Multiple units have also shown safety device deficiencies, with apartments 4A and 5A required to repair or replace their smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices. The building has maintained a consistent history of mold and unsanitary condition complaints, particularly in 2023, with multiple violations related to ventilation systems, garbage storage, and pest control. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of both resolved and ongoing issues.

Recent attention from Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Department of Buildings inspections has focused on various health and safety matters, including heat/hot water systems, wall conditions, and emergency repairs. While there have been periodic rodent issues, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, the building has successfully maintained a bedbug-free status since at least 2019, according to official reporting records. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest control measures. Additionally, the building has undergone multiple permit issuances between 2018 and 2020 for authorized work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements are being conducted under proper regulations.
