378 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, 1930s-era New Law Tenement at 378 Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Chaitlal Ramsanahie, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past decade. The property has faced recurring heat and hot water issues during late 2018, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 26 and November 14 of that year, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inspections were unable to gain access to the apartments. More recently, in 2024, there are open violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, indicating a compliance issue with the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the bedbug reports filed in 2021-2022 show no infested units, records from 2018-2019 consistently demonstrated compliance with eradication requirements. The building has undergone several rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 resulting in a passing grade. However, two inspections in 2024 showed failures for "Other Reasons," suggesting potential pest management or sanitation concerns.

A food establishment complaint was filed and closed in 2020, while a Department of Buildings complaint regarding an illegal storefront awning in 2018 was investigated and found unsubstantiated. The property has maintained a valid bedbug compliance history from 2019-2022, with no recorded infestations during the reporting periods. Two permits were issued in December 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
