42 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
42 Patchen Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Hilary Jones. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being the presence of pests, as evidenced by a 2024 complaint about unsanitary conditions that HPD could not inspect, and ongoing rodent activity documented through multiple inspections and bait applications from 2024 to 2025.
There are four active violations from the 2024 inspection of apartment 2L, including missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and defective window components. The building has a history of water-related issues, with a documented slow leak in 2023 and previous mold problems in apartment 4L's bathroom (2022) that were reportedly resolved by December 2022. The property's maintenance history shows recurring issues with windows and doors, as seen in violations and complaints spanning multiple apartments (1L, 2L, and 4L).
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years between 2022-2025, the presence of rodent activity suggests ongoing pest control challenges. The building's Department of Buildings records show multiple violations related to low-pressure inspection filing between 2019-2023, indicating potential issues with building systems maintenance oversight. The property's recent history of baiting and rat activity inspections throughout 2024-2025 suggests that rodent control measures are being implemented, though the persistence of such issues indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
