351 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

351 Grove Street is a 3-story, 7-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Eric Setton. The building has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues over the past several years, most notably a series of window guard problems between 2023-2024, including three emergency complaints in 2024 alone. Recent service requests include an appliance issue from March 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect, and the property has shown consistent evidence of rodent activity, with eight documented inspections between 2023 and 2025 confirming rat presence.

The building has also faced multiple water-related problems, with two heavy flow water leak complaints recorded in October 2022. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple violations, including B-class violations in 2022 related to fire safety materials, water leaks, and waste management in the 2nd story public hall. Apartment 2L has been the subject of several specific violations including carbon monoxide detector issues, pest infestations, and hot water supply problems, though some of these were closed or certified.

The building's management has maintained a regular bedbug reporting record showing zero infestations since 2019, and multiple Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections have been conducted, with the most recent attempt in June 2024 resulting in an inability to gain access. Construction-related activities in 2022 triggered safety compliance inspections, and two ECB violations were issued in 2022 regarding job site supervision and documentation. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, recent inspections show improvements in some areas, though the recurring nature of certain problems raises ongoing concerns about building conditions and management response.
