354 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

354 Saratoga Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit new law tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Bramwell. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks and mold reported in 2025 alone, including both slow and heavy flow leaks, all of which were closed without violations being issued.

In late 2024, there were several maintenance issues across multiple units (2B and 3D) including problems with ventilation systems, various appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower), and mold. Unit 2B, in particular, had documented violations including mold, defective smoke detectors, water leaks, and issues with plastered surfaces, though these were subsequently certified as corrected between late 2024 and early 2025.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in any unit for the past several years. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the building passing in 2019 and 2021, but failing in 2021 for "Other Reasons." The Department of Buildings records show two significant complaints - one in 2021 related to construction work and another in 2022 about failure to maintain - though both were ultimately resolved. A notable pattern emerges from the building's history of water-related issues, with multiple inspections and complaints over the years, particularly in 2024 and 2025, though it's worth noting that not all complaints resulted in violations or required corrections according to HPD inspections.
