304 Stuyvesant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

304 Stuyvesant Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by David Shilian and constructed in 1898. The building has experienced recurring heating issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were generally resolved promptly, though some required inspections that found no violations.

More concerning are the January-February 2025 violations related to doors and windows, including problems with window frames and general door conditions, which received emergency violation status and required correction by the property owner. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues between 2023 and 2025. In June 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment C4, including rodent infestations, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector issues.

The property has also faced challenges with building infrastructure, including a water supply problem (November 2024) and various heating system access issues (November 2024). The Department of Buildings records show two active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2023 and 2024. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, the rodent inspection records present a mixed picture, with rat activity documented in three of the past six inspections (most recently in June 2025) and one "passed" inspection in May 2024.
