396A Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
396A Monroe Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Cheryl Ighodaro. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water - particularly notable are six emergency complaints in 2024-2025, including a building-wide outage in January 2025.
The building has two open housing maintenance code violations from February 2023 related to water leaks and ceiling repairs in basement apartment BA, though not all violations have been duly certified as resolved. In 2023, there was also a violation issued for excessive hot water temperature in apartment 1A above 130 degrees. The building's maintenance history shows significant recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly between late 2023 and early 2025, with multiple instances where HPD was unable to gain access to complete inspections.
While no current infestations of bedbugs have been reported in recent filings (2025-2024), and the most recent rodent inspection from June 2024 passed, earlier inspections revealed some concerns with rodent control between 2013-2019, including two failures for unspecified reasons. The building appears to have undergone some improvements as indicated by two successful rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three years. However, the ongoing heating system issues remain the most pressing concern based on recent complaint patterns, with multiple instances where tenants reported no heat or hot water throughout 2024-2025.
