326 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 326 Starr Street in Bushwick, owned by Michiel Schuit and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing rodent problem, with the most recent rat activity inspections occurring in 2025 showing initial detections in January and March, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 found no rat activity. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2022.

In 2020, there were two emergency building-wide heat/hot water complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access for confirmation. A plumbing issue regarding a bathtub/shower was reported and inspected in March 2020, which resulted in no violations. The Department of Buildings has two records of work without permits in 2020 and 2021, though inspectors were similarly unable to gain access for verification.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with annual filings from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested units or infestations during each reporting period. While the property has experienced multiple health department inspections for rodent activity between 2022 and 2025, compliance inspections have generally resulted in passing inspections except for initial inspections indicating rat activity. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to certain complaints, particularly regarding heat and water issues, with some cases showing prompt resolution, though access issues have sometimes hindered complete verification of conditions.
