319 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 319 Melrose Street in Bushwick, owned by Samuel Landau, has exhibited several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2015. Most recently, in July 2024, a mold complaint was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found. The building has experienced recurring issues with paint and plaster damage, particularly in 2024, with multiple closed complaints regarding both ceiling and wall conditions.

There were also access issues noted in 2023 for complaints about walls, ceilings, and a door that could not be inspected. The property had earlier safety concerns in 2018, including problems with a carbon monoxide detector and floor issues, both of which also experienced access-related inspection difficulties. The building's compliance history shows a pattern of mold-related complaints, with similar issues reported in 2018.

A significant administrative matter is an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though records from previous years show proper filings and no reported infestations between 2021-2022. Rodent control measures appear generally effective, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though there was one instance of reported rat activity in April 2024. The building has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2020, with most showing no issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, many complaints have been closed without violations being found, and inspections for rodent control have primarily passed.
