338 Lefferts Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The two-family house at 338 Lefferts Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by April Rosario, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with four separate complaints filed in late 2024 (two for the entire building and two for individual apartments), all of which were closed without inspection due to lack of access.

The building also faced multiple plumbing issues in November 2024, including problems with toilets and water supply, though these complaints also could not be inspected due to access issues. In May 2024, HPD conducted an inspection related to ceiling paint/plaster problems and issued violations.

The property has a record of rodent-related complaints between 2022 and 2023, with three separate incidents reported (two cases of rat sightings and one report of signs of rodents), though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations in all cases and the property passed inspection. The building's most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showed no infestations, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. The building, constructed in 1960, has faced recurring issues with providing basic services like heat and water, particularly in the most recent months of 2024, though many complaints have been closed without inspection due to access issues.
