287 Classon Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1905 and currently owned by Kalliopi Neamonitis. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, particularly in 2023, with five documented complaints between September and October 2023, including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues.

These complaints have led to open violations related to heating system access and heating system notices in the building's first-story public hall. Recent inspections in September 2023 revealed multiple violations in apartment 4R, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a non-compliant entrance door, and inadequate hot water at fixtures. The building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including two recent Department of Buildings violations from October 2023 regarding unpermitted gas water heater installations and improper flue piping, resulting in fines totaling $930.

The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing evidence of rat activity. While there have been several building issues requiring tenant complaints, most violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, with the exception of the most recent heating system-related violations and the October 2023 gas installation violations. The building has maintained a consistent record of no bed bug infestations, with all reporting periods showing zero affected units between 2021 and 2025.
