372 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

This four-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 372 Montgomery Street, owned by Joe Patrickowski, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, as well as a substantial water leak complaint that was not able to be properly inspected by HPD.

The building has faced recurring electrical problems, with three separate power outage incidents reported between October 2023 and January 2025, including one classified as an immediate emergency in January 2025. Multiple violations were issued between 2023-2024 for various maintenance issues, including a mouse infestation in Apartment 3 (currently listed as open), defective fire escape components, and problems with window guards and interior repairs. The building's infrastructure appears to have persistent challenges, with active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2019, 2020, and 2023.

While the bed bug reports for the past four years show no infestations, there was evidence of rat activity during a March 2024 inspection, though the most recent inspections in 2025 and prior years have generally passed. Apartment 3 has been the most affected unit, facing multiple violations including issues with kitchen ceiling plaster, floor tiles, door bell system, smoke detector, and hallway ceiling repairs. The building's history shows a pattern of HVAC (heat/hot water), electrical, and plumbing issues, with most recent complaints being promptly addressed by HPD, though some required follow-up inspections that were not completed.
