276 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

276 Marion Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Robert Raphael. The building has a concerning and persistent pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency service requests documented between 2022 and 2025, including the most recent complaints in May 2025 and April 2024. While some violations have been issued and closed, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of heating system problems affecting the entire building.

In addition to the heating issues, the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 6 (as of October 2023), which had multiple violations including rodent infestations, defective plastered surfaces, and issues with kitchen cabinets. The property has also faced security and maintenance concerns in common areas, as evidenced by July 2023 violations regarding vestibule doors and locks. While there have been some instances of rodent activity (as shown in past inspections), recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no infestations.

The building's systems and infrastructure appear to require ongoing attention, as indicated by various complaints and violations related to water systems, appliances, and building security features over the past several years. The property's violation history shows some positive trends, with recent bedbug reports indicating no infestations and a passed rodent inspection in May 2024. However, the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints, along with various maintenance issues, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort. Notably, a failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection was recorded as a violation in June 2023 but was dismissed in February 2024.
