532 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

532 New York Avenue is a six-story, five-unit residential building constructed in 2018 in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, owned by Hersh Zarchi. The property has experienced a concerning concentration of issues in April 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed simultaneously through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code channels, covering problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower), doors, electrical lighting, and mold.

Notably, all these complaints were marked as "Closed" within four days of filing, though initial HPD inspection attempts were unsuccessful, and residents were advised to re-file if issues persisted. The building's history shows relatively few issues prior to 2025, with a single sustainability-related complaint in 2018 that resulted in no violations.

The bedbug reports for the property reveal no infestations or eradications in the two reporting periods from late 2022 through October 2024, indicating effective pest management during that time. The recent cluster of complaints in 2025, particularly involving safety equipment like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, represents the most significant pattern of issues in the building's relatively short history, though the rapid processing of these complaints through emergency channels is notable.
