295 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

295 Classon Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Zelma 1 LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between late 2022 and early 2024, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

These emergency complaints indicate persistent problems with the building's heating system, though most were resolved following HPD inspections, with several incidents requiring multiple complaint filings due to access issues. A water leak was reported and addressed in December 2022, and an inspection in October 2022 revealed a self-closing door issue at the building's front entrance that was subsequently corrected. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with all reported filing periods showing zero infested units from 2021 through 2025.

Rodent inspections have been mixed; while the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded between 2018 and 2022, particularly in mid-2018 and late 2022. A complaint regarding unpermitted work was filed in September 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly heating, while demonstrating compliance with bedbug and rodent reporting requirements in recent years.
