541 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

541 Washington Avenue is a 7-story, 63-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Taranae Hashemi. The building has experienced recurring elevator maintenance issues, with the most recent violations documented in May 2023, showing multiple safety concerns including misaligned cab mirrors, worn hoist belts, and expired brake maintenance tags, resulting in two active ECB violations with $625 penalties each.

These elevator-related problems have been a consistent concern, with similar violations recorded in 2018 through 2020, though those were ultimately resolved by February 2022. More recently, in January 2025, there was an inspection of a sidewalk shed/scaffold issue, which was found to have no violations at the time of inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic safety requirements, as evidenced by annual bedbug inspection reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infestations, and a passed rodent inspection in October 2017. The property has obtained necessary permits for various work, including two permits issued in 2021 for exterior work, identified as EW permits under job number 340737340. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly with the elevator system, the regular inspections and prompt response to violations indicate ongoing management attention to building safety and maintenance requirements.
