380 Lefferts Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 46-unit, 7-story residential building at 380 Lefferts Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Abe Friedman and constructed in 2009, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years (2022-2025). Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints in December 2023 and November 2022, though inspections found no violations in some cases. Recent pest control issues have emerged, with two unsanitary conditions related to pests reported in 2024 (most recently in July 2024 with violations issued).

The building has also faced water-related problems, including a heavy flow water leak in 2022 and a slow leak in 2023, both of which were resolved or inspected without violations. Current active violations include an open Class C violation from July 2024 regarding a mice infestation in apartment 3F and a 2024 ECB violation related to failure to submit an exterior wall condition report, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The building has maintained an active bedbug management program, with no reported infestations in recent years (most recent reports from 2025 and 2024 show zero infested or eradicated units).

Several technical violations from the Department of Buildings remain unresolved, including failures to file required Benchmarking Reports and the FISP Cycle 9B technical report. Safety equipment concerns have been identified and addressed, including the replacement of defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024. The elevator system was inspected in 2021 with no violations warranted. The building's maintenance history shows regular monitoring and response to issues, though some patterns of recurring problems with heat/hot water systems and pest control have emerged.
