367 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

367 Saratoga Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 2013 and currently owned by Bah Sadio. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2021, with the most concerning being multiple violations related to safety equipment and systems. In 2022, there were violations issued for non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a water leak among other issues.

More recently, in 2024, there are two open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though there is no penalty associated with these violations. The building has also faced issues with unauthorized cellar conversions, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations in 2022, where unauthorized full-height partitions were created and illegal SRO units were established in the cellar, leading to fines totaling $4,370. These violations were ultimately resolved, and a vacate order was rescinded in April 2023. The property has a history of various maintenance requests and violations that suggest ongoing system and safety concerns.

Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding safety systems (including fire safety equipment), water issues, and general maintenance problems. Specifically, these included insufficient smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality, ventilation issues, water leaks, and problems with the building's intercom system. The building underwent multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in some violations being issued while others were resolved, such as the repair requirements for a defective refrigerator gasket and various renovations needed in Apartment 1. The inspection history indicates some attention to addressing violations, as many have been closed or certified as corrected, though the ongoing bedbug report violation remains open as of 2024.
