396 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
396 Washington Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, owned by Scott Miscoone. Built in 1887, this converted Class A property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. In late 2021, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between October 31 and November 4, including problems with ceiling paint/plaster, plumbing issues with toilets, door/window concerns, lighting problems, and reports of pest-related unsanitary conditions.
All these complaints were closed without any violations being issued. More concerning is the building's current status regarding bed bug reporting requirements. As of 2025, there are three open violations from March and April 2023-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, as mandated under Section A of the Housing Maintenance Code.
Prior to this, in 2021, there was one violation that was subsequently closed. The last filed bedbug report for the period between November 2019 and October 2020 indicated no infested or re-infested dwelling units, and all affected units had been eradicated, suggesting the issue may have been successfully resolved at that time. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of persistent administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though there is no recent evidence of active infestations.
