AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 369 Howard Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Green and built in 1910, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with pest infestations, particularly rodents, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2023, including an active Class C violation from February 2023 concerning mice infestation in apartment 3R that remains open as of October 2023. The building has also faced several safety and comfort concerns, including a heat and hot water emergency in March 2022, carbon monoxide detector issues, and various unsanitary conditions. Recent violations documented in 2024 highlight both structural and maintenance concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation related to facade disrepair and spalling bricks, with a penalty of $3,125 issued for failure to maintain a code-compliant manner at the rear sitting area. There are also outstanding violations from June 2023 regarding a failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection.

The building's management has maintained documentation of bedbug reporting, with the most recent filings (2024 and 2023) indicating no infested units or eradication efforts needed, suggesting either effective management of this particular issue or potentially inaccurate reporting. Historical rodent inspections from 2009 to 2011 show a mix of compliance and non-compliance relating to rat activity. While some violations and service requests have been resolved, including several pest-related complaints that closed with HPD inspections, the recurrence of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" imply it is subject to specific regulatory requirements regarding maintenance and record-keeping, which appear to be only partially adhered to based on the available violation history.
