367 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 6-unit building at 367 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Juan Guanopatin, has a mixed compliance record since 2019, with several critical issues affecting resident quality of life and safety. Most recently, in November 2024, there were two heat and hot water-related complaints that were initially reported as emergencies, though heat and hot water were confirmed restored during inspection. In 2023, the building faced safety issues including broken window guards (in Apartment 2L), and there have been recurring window guard problems, with both 2019 and 2023 violations requiring attention.

Two significant 2019 complaints about fire escape safety and door issues could not be inspected due to access problems, though violations were later documented. The building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including rodent issues (notably a rat activity citation in May 2024) and multiple failures to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving violations for not filing annual reports between 2019 and 2024. In 2019, Apartment 3L had multiple violations including improper fire escape access and living space concerns, though these were subsequently addressed. A Certificate of Occupancy complaint was filed in 2021, but access was not granted for inspection.

However, recent rodent inspection results from March 2025 show improved conditions, with compliance achieved. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024 indicates no confirmed infestations during these periods. While there have been multiple safety and maintenance concerns over the years, the most recent inspections indicate improvements in rodent control, with recent violations being addressed promptly. The building has had consistent issues with window safety features and heating systems, which have been the subject of multiple complaints and violations across different years.
