335 Lefferts Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

335 Lefferts Avenue, a 4-story, 43-unit residential building constructed in 1927, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heating and hot water systems. Between December 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water deficiencies, including one incident involving the entire building on multiple occasions (January 13, January 21, February 4, and March 14) that required HPD intervention.

The building has also faced significant plumbing issues, with complaints about toilets and water supply problems recorded in January and December 2024. A December 2024 inspection revealed violations in apartment B5, including issues with water leakage, broken plaster surfaces, and pest infestation (specifically roaches), though many violations have since been closed. The property has a history of concerning safety and compliance issues, including unresolved Housing Maintenance Code violations from as far back as 2019 and ongoing Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 related to work performed without proper permits and failure to comply with commissioner's orders.

These violations suggest potential unauthorized modifications or occupancy issues that have not been adequately addressed. More recently, in 2024-2025, the building has faced challenges with maintenance accessibility, as several HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify complaints. While the building's bedbug and rodent inspection records (from 2010-2018) show consistent passing results with no infestations reported, the current environmental control and energy efficiency compliance issues (including failure to display energy efficiency scores) indicate potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
