377 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story property at 377 Saratoga Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Stephen Oyelola, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2024. Between February and April 2024, multiple violations were documented, including issues with pests (multiple unsanitary condition complaints), flooring, plumbing, water leaks, and window frames.

Notably, there were also maintenance violations issued in April 2024 for the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) regarding repair needs for the lower sash window, radiator, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and bathroom flushing apparatus. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four reporting periods from 2022 through 2025, suggesting effective monitoring and prevention measures.

Earlier in 2023, additional maintenance issues were documented including problems with the ventilation system, toilet, refrigerator, mold presence, and ceiling paint/plaster. While most of the 2023 complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the 2024 violations represent the building's most significant documented maintenance challenges to date. The property was built in 2003 and contains three residential units, and though most recent violations were properly addressed and closed, there remains one open violation as of April 2024 regarding rodent infestation (roaches) in Apartment 3, indicating ongoing pest management challenges.
