41 Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

41 Kingston Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Sharon Griffith, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent and pressing concern being a heat and hot water outage that occurred in late November 2024, which the HPD was unable to verify due to lack of access (this complaint remains open as of November 2024).

The building has also faced multiple rodent activity incidents, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing ongoing rat activity, though there were some compliant inspections in 2018 that passed. In the summer of 2022, multiple emergency complaints were recorded and investigated, including issues with water leakage, door problems, and mold (unsanitary conditions), though no violations were issued in these cases.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent bedbug-free status across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units. As of November 2024, the building has received four open violations related to safety notice requirements, including the need to post information about housing guides, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide device requirements in common areas, though these are administrative in nature and do not directly impact habitability conditions. The property has maintained a pattern of regular bedbug reports showing zero infestation, including the most recent 2024 filing period, while the rat activity pattern suggests ongoing monitoring challenges between compliance inspections.
