309 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 5-story, 6-unit residential building at 309 New York Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Chaya Pinson and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with heating and water supply systems in recent years. Most notably, between January 2025 and May 2025, there were three documented emergencies regarding heat and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with the most recent incident occurring on May 31, 2025. Additionally, there were plumbing issues related to water supply documented in January 2025 and June 2025.

The building has also faced ventilation system challenges, with four complaints recorded between September 2024 and January 2025, though most of these inspections were hindered by access issues. In September 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding window frames, and one violation was issued in September 2024 concerning inadequate garbage disposal receptacles. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control compliance, with zero infestations reported in the annual filings from 2020 through 2024.

Regular rodent inspections have shown generally good results, with most recent inspections passing between 2010 and 2024, except for one failure in September 2009. While there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, the building's overall record shows that many complaints resulted from access issues during inspections rather than confirmed violations. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the recurring heating and water supply problems that have persisted into 2025, despite various emergency response interventions.
