393 Lefferts Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 50-unit, 7-story residential building at 393 Lefferts Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Nicholas Conway, has experienced several notable issues since its completion in 2015. Most recently, in March 2023, there was a significant building-wide heat and hot water outage that affected multiple units and required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), leading to violations that were eventually resolved with hot water restoration confirmed by HPD on March 6, 2023.

The building has also had three active DOB violations as of 2024 related to failure to file required inspections and reports, including a FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report requirement that is currently marked as active. Earlier history shows various maintenance issues between 2020-2021, including multiple complaints about elevator maintenance and garbage/recycling storage conditions, though these were resolved without violations.

The building's elevator system had a complaint in 2018 regarding single device service, which was investigated with no violations found. Notably, the building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last five years, and passed its initial rodent inspection in December 2018. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly with building-wide systems like heat and hot water, it has consistently responded to and resolved these issues through proper channels, and the absence of recent pest issues is a positive indicator of general maintenance.
