323 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 323 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Lloyd Babb, was constructed in 1886 and has undergone several noteworthy maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. Most significantly, there is currently an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which follows a pattern of similar violations in previous years (2021-2023).

The building has also experienced rodent issues, with documented rat activity in March and April 2022, and a rat sighting complaint in February 2022 that resulted in Health Department violations. Despite these concerns, the property has maintained proper bedbug management protocols, with the most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 showing zero infested dwelling units.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing attention to various infrastructure and safety requirements, with multiple permits issued for interior work, including several issued in 2022-2023 for emergency/water-related activities. Historical records from 1988 show several building maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed, including repairs to the vestibule and public hall areas, though these are over 35 years old and no longer relevant to current conditions. The property has demonstrated regular monitoring and reporting for both bedbugs and rodents when violations occurred, though the most recent bedbug report violation from April 2024 suggests potential ongoing administrative compliance challenges.
