383 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

383 Sumpter Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Green and constructed in 1908. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023. The August 2023 inspection of apartment 3R revealed multiple violations, including inadequate hot water supply, lack of gas to the kitchen range, electrical issues, and various problems with wall surfaces and plastering.

The unit's condition was further documented with violations related to an improperly functioning refrigerator and damaged window frames. This follows a history of maintenance issues, particularly concerning basic services like heat and hot water, with similar problems reported in both 2022 and 2020. The building's maintenance history includes various infrastructure and sanitation concerns, such as sewer problems and electrical outages, though many of these past complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

A notable incident occurred in July 2021, involving a complaint about the building shaking or vibrating, which resulted in an Oath violation. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2024, showing no infestations, and previous rodent inspections (2018-2017) passed without issues. An Environmental Control Board violation from July 2021 cited concerns about exterior building maintenance, though this was resolved with no penalty. While the building has received multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations over the years, it's noteworthy that many of these issues have been addressed without generating serious penalties or recurring problems, though the recent cluster of violations in 2023 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3R.
