355 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

355 Marion Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1906 and currently owned by Yoel Shafer. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple electrical problems, including a recent lighting failure in July 2024 and similar issues in 2019, with two instances of non-lighting problems occurring in 2023 and 2022.

The building has also faced heating and hot water system challenges, with emergency complaints in 2022 and 2020, though these issues were reportedly corrected. A significant pest infestation was documented in September 2022 (Class C violation) in apartment 1R, including issues with roaches and mice, leading to multiple violations that were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has active violations as of June 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019-2022, and there were several notable safety regulation violations in early 2020 concerning inadequate tenant protection plans and failure to maintain proper building protocols during construction work.

While recent bedbug inspections from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations, the building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with basic systems and safety compliance. The Department of Buildings previously issued fines for tenant safety violations in 2020 related to inadequate post/construction protocols, though these were resolved. The building's historical records show varying compliance with housing maintenance codes, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and door security, though most of these violations have been addressed and closed through proper certification processes.
