203 Mother Gaston, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 15-unit, 4-story residential building at 203 Mother Gaston in Brownsville, built in 2016 and currently owned by Lawana Davis, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. The building has had recurring door and window-related problems, with multiple complaints filed between late 2020 and early 2021, including both emergency and non-emergency reports specifically regarding doors, window frames, and general door/window conditions.

These issues resulted in some Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly during March 2021, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. More recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have shown the building to be current with its bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period (2024-2025). The building's maintenance history also reflects some significant safety-related violations from 2021, including concerns about a defective lock assembly in Apartment 1A, obstructing bars or gates affecting fire egress, and missing required safety notices regarding heating system access and gas leak procedures - all of which were classified as Class B violations.

A 2024 inspection regarding building shaking/vibration was conducted but found no violations, and there were previous construction-related complaints in 2019 that similarly showed no warranted violations upon inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with varied results between 2014 and 2018; while several inspections showed passed results, there was documented rat activity in December 2018. The building's most recent documented issues primarily relate to historical maintenance concerns, with no major ongoing violations or safety hazards reported in the past year.
