388 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 6-story, 54-unit residential building at 388 Throop Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Claudette Henry and built in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most concerning is the current pattern of indoor air quality issues, with multiple complaints in 2025 regarding chemical vapors, ventilation problems, and other air quality concerns, particularly in May and June.
The building has also been grappling with persistent elevator safety violations, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service between 2024-2025, and three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2024 related to door lock monitoring systems, totaling penalties of $43,750. Recent maintenance issues include water leaks, plumbing problems, and various other maintenance needs documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building has four open Class C violations from a December 2024 inspection, affecting multiple apartments (A4C, A6C, C4F) and the public hall, including issues with window mechanisms, cabinetry, ceiling conditions, and a non-self-closing fire stair door.
There appear to be ongoing rodent control issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application throughout 2024 and 2025. While the building has maintained a record of zero reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2025), the overall pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's most recent inspection history shows a mix of addressed and persistent issues, with particular attention needed in areas related to air quality, elevator safety, and building maintenance compliance.
