35 Brevoort Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, five-unit building at 35 Brevoort Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2022, there were multiple non-emergency complaints including reports of water leaks, electrical outlet issues, wall damage, and pest infestations. The building has also faced recurring plumbing challenges, with multiple complaints about toilet issues in 2019 and various plumbing problems in 2018 affecting sinks and general plumbing systems.

A serious heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported and subsequently resolved in late 2018. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations requiring attention to various maintenance issues. In 2023, there was a violation regarding defective flushing apparatus in Apartment 4R, while in 2022, Apartment 3 (3rd floor) received several violations including missing window guards, pest infestation, and multiple maintenance issues affecting plaster surfaces, cabinet doors, electrical outlets, and bathroom tiles.

Earlier violations from 2020 involved water leaks and damaged surfaces in Apartment 1. Recent inspections have shown improvement in some areas, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, and maintaining a clean bedbug report record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past four years. The most recent building inspection results as of 2025 show passing compliance for rodent control, though there was one failed inspection in September 2023 for "Other Reasons." While many violations from previous years have been certified as corrected, there remain some open violations from 2022, including ongoing pest infestation issues in Apartment 3. The property has demonstrated an ongoing pattern of maintenance issues, particularly affecting plumbing, pest control, and general building systems, though recent records suggest some improvement in overall conditions and compliance with health and safety requirements.
