140 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

140 Classon Avenue is a historic three-story, four-unit residential building in Clinton Hill, built in 1905 and currently owned by Marilu Gines. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in September 2024, including problems with walls, cabinetry, plumbing, and slow water leaks.

These complaints were classified as non-emergency, but notably, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation despite multiple attempts, suggesting potential accessibility or communication challenges between management and authorities. The building's compliance history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with filings indicating zero reported infestations from 2021 through 2024, and passing rodent inspections between 2018 and 2019, though there were some concerns about rat activity noted in 2016.

The property has faced administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report on time, though these violations appear to have been resolved as subsequent filings from 2023 and 2024 show no reported infestations or affected units. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with timely accessibility for inspections and resolution of reported issues, as evidenced by the multiple complaints filed in September 2024 that remain formally closed due to lack of access for inspection rather than definitive resolution. While the building has generally maintained compliance with critical safety requirements such as rodent control and bedbug reporting, the recent pattern of maintenance complaints and inspection access issues warrants attention to the building's current condition and management response protocols.
