375 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, five-unit building at 375 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Sallie Lawrence and constructed in 1875, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water outages. Between late 2023 and late 2024, there were three documented heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with inspection access being denied in all cases.

The building has also faced pest challenges, including rodent sightings in August and September 2023, though an October 2023 inspection passed with no major findings. Historical maintenance issues include a series of emergency repairs in late 2020, addressing concerns such as water leaks, mold, and floor conditions, as well as separate heating problems in February 2021. The building currently has four open violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement under Housing Maintenance Code regulations, reflecting a potentially ongoing administrative compliance issue.

Earlier violations from November 2020 were addressed without penalties, including problems with paint/plaster, water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and flooring. While the property has experienced multiple urgent maintenance issues in recent years, many complaints have been closed without citations, though this may indicate inspection access challenges rather than definitive resolution of the problems. The building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest a pattern of periodic infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, though recent rodent inspections indicate some improvement in this area.
