240 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
240 Washington Avenue is a four-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1882 in Clinton Hill, currently owned by Roger Cohen. The property has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
These complaints, though closed without violations being issued, included concerns about doors, mold, electrical systems, cabinetry, and water leaks. Prior to this, in July 2023, there was a plumbing issue involving a toilet that also went through the HPD complaint process without resulting in violations.
The building currently has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding an unfiled 2018 external low-pressure inspection, suggesting some lapse in required maintenance procedures. More positively, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024. However, recent rodent activity has been a concern, with compliance inspections in early 2025 (February and March) showing rat activity, though subsequent bait applications have been implemented as of June 2025.
