12 Gunther Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story building at 12 Gunther Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Romona Holder, has experienced several maintenance issues over its recent history, particularly during 2019 when multiple complaints were filed. The most pressing problems during that period included electrical issues (with two instances of no lighting and multiple other electrical complaints), multiple reports of water leaks, and pest-related complaints.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2019 with housing maintenance complaints showing violations across various categories including unsanitary conditions related to pests, plumbing problems, and a heating/hot water system failure that affected the entire building before being promptly resolved. The building underwent inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during this period, resulting in several violations being recorded.

However, more recent history suggests improved conditions, as evidenced by the bedbug reports from July 2025, which show no infestation cases in the past two reporting periods (2024-2025 and 2023-2024), with zero units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. The absence of new complaints in recent years, coupled with the current bedbug reporting showing no issues, indicates that the building's maintenance situation has stabilized since the problematic year of 2019. The property is classified as an Old Law Tenement, having been built in 1901, and is located in a residential neighborhood with three designated units.
