327 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, two-family residential building at 327 Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Arounian, was constructed in 2007 and has maintained a relatively stable record since then. Most notably, the building has successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management and maintenance practices. The property has experienced some significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding heating and electrical systems.

In late 2018, there were two separate incidents involving heat/hot water and electrical power outage problems, though these issues were reportedly resolved, with the heat and hot water being restored according to tenant reports. More recently, in 2020, there was a documented case of unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. The building is currently under scrutiny for a potentially serious violation, as of June 2020 there is an open violation regarding the required posting of gas leak safety procedures in common areas, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The property has shown improvements in compliance and safety matters over the past few years, with no major incidents reported since 2020. The regular passing of rodent inspections since 2019 suggests that the building has been maintaining proper sanitation standards, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing continued compliance. While there have been various maintenance issues reported over the years, these have typically been addressed within reasonable timeframes, as evidenced by the "closed" status of most 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building's heating system, which experienced problems in 2018, received an official notice of violation in 2018 regarding inadequate hot water supply to the second-floor apartment, though this violation was marked as closed subsequently.
