313 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 313 Melrose Street in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a plumbing-related complaint regarding a bathtub/shower in 2024 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, and a concerning pattern of rat activity was recorded during multiple inspections in 2023-2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance while an earlier April 2024 inspection documented rat activity.
The building has had recurring issues with electric/gas range appliances, with four separate complaints between 2020 and 2021, though no violations were found in any of the HPD inspections. The property has displayed some safety compliance challenges, particularly in 2020, when multiple violations were recorded including missing carbon monoxide detector notices, improper gas leak procedure notices, and issues with various required postings in the public hall. One violation from 2020 regarding the entrance door self-closing mechanism was documented, and there was a bedbug reporting requirement violation in April 2021.
However, recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 have all indicated zero infested units, suggesting improvements in pest management. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no reported infestations. Additionally, rodent inspections have shown a mix of passing and failing results, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed, indicating potential improvement in pest management practices.
