405 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 3-unit old law tenement at 405 Grove Street in Bushwick, owned by Normita Lima, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2023, with water-related problems being particularly prominent. Between January 2023 and September 2024, there were multiple water leak complaints, ranging from heavy flow to slow leaks, with at least eight incidents reported through 311 calls and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. While some of these complaints resulted in inspections, no violations were issued.

The building has also faced appliance-related issues, specifically refrigerator problems, with complaints filed in both November 2023 and April 2023, the most recent of which was closed in September 2024 without proper inspection access. Other maintenance concerns included ceiling paint/plaster issues in April 2023 (no violations issued), a door problem in April 2023 (corrected), and an emergency roofing issue reported in January 2023 (closed). The building currently has three open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, dating back to inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

However, recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, though earlier inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues and appliance problems, along with some concerns about pest control compliance. While many complaints were addressed through inspections and corrections, there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
