212 Mother Gaston Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11233

212 Mother Gaston Boulevard is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2003 and currently owned by Oswald Dehaan. The property has experienced significant heat and hot water issues in recent months, with ten emergency complaints filed between November 3 and November 25, 2023, regarding inadequate heating or hot water supply. While most of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued in several cases, though one open violation related to the November 27 inspection was noted regarding a missing window guard in Apartment 3.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges throughout 2023, including rodent infestation in Apartment 3 (with a violation noted on November 21), and multiple open violations from February 2023 involving inadequate heat supply, plumbing issues in the bathroom, and window frame problems in Apartment 3. Earlier violations from 2023 included issues with building waste disposal and security door functionality, though some of these were eventually resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history shows one infestation case in 2023 (November 2022-October 2023 reporting period) and three cases in 2022 (including two in 2021-2022 reporting period).

The most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 indicates zero current infestations. The property has experienced various other maintenance issues, including electrical problems (lighting) in May 2023, though no violations were issued in connection with that complaint. The building's age (built in 2003) and relatively high number of recent heat-related complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic building systems.
