809 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
809 Classon Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Judith Golowa. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months.
Most notably, in 2023-2025, the property has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly centered around Unit 3L, including issues with a defective smoke detector, mice infestation, plaster and paint repair needs, and problems with bathroom fixtures. The building has also generated multiple 311 complaints in early 2025, with violations issued for wall and floor conditions, though many other complaints regarding pests, stairs, and waste storage were determined not to violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, with a bedbug incident reported in 2021 (one infested unit, successfully eradicated) and subsequent periods (2022-2024) showing no infestations.
Recent inspections from 2023-2025 indicate some concerns about building systems, including a plumbing issue in late 2023 that could not be verified due to access issues, though earlier complaints about unauthorized work and fence conditions were determined not to warrant violations. Importantly, the building has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no recent infestations reported, indicating compliance with current regulations.
