334 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

334 Starr Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ismet Brahimi. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent emergency heat/hot water complaint filed in January 2025, following similar complaints in October 2022, and multiple incidents in late 2019, suggesting an ongoing challenge with this essential service.

The property has also faced significant rodent control challenges, with multiple rat activity reports between 2022 and 2025, though the building passed a compliance inspection in May 2025. Recent inspections from September 2024 identified several open safety violations, including issues with door and window maintenance, missing safety notices (such as carbon monoxide detector requirements and smoke detector requirements), and problems with self-closing doors at both the front entrance and vestibule.

These violations, categorized primarily as Class A and Class C, indicate potential safety and security concerns for residents. The building's age and maintenance history suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, as evidenced by the pattern of emergency complaints and the need for various repairs and safety updates. While some improvements have been made, including recent compliance inspections passing in 2025, the frequency of complaints and violations points to persistent maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety.
