183 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 183 Classon Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mordche Gelbstein and constructed in 1901, has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around mold, window maintenance, and heat/hot water systems. In early 2025, there were emergency complaints regarding window frame issues and heat/hot water problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for evaluation.
Two separate mold-related complaints were filed in August 2024, following a similar complaint in April 2021, though in all cases, no violations were issued after HPD inspections. The building currently has an open violation from August 2024 requiring public hall walls to be repainted in light-colored paint, and there was a boiler-related complaint in July 2024 where inspectors again could not gain access.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with three consecutive annual reports (2023-2025) showing zero infestations, and passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024. The property has experienced some challenges with compliance reporting requirements, having received violations for not filing bedbug reports in 2022 and 2023, though subsequent filings show no infestations. While the building has demonstrated generally good pest control measures and maintains compliance with basic safety inspections, the persistent pattern of moisture-related issues (including mold) and recent heating system access problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
