308 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 308 Grove Street building is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931, currently owned by Ismael Feliciano. The most pressing recent concerns center around consistent heating and hot water issues, with two documented emergencies in 2024 (March and April) affecting the entire building.

These incidents revealed problems with the building's heating system and water supply, resulting in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including one violation for a locked boiler room door that required HPD intervention. The building has also experienced recurring security and access issues, as evidenced by violations in 2024 regarding broken latches and locking assemblies at public entrance points, including the primary building entrance and a vestibule door. While the building has maintained a history of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units from 2020 through 2024, there have been ongoing challenges with rodent activity.

Most recently, in 2025, the building passed a compliance inspection, though prior inspections from 2024-2025 showed multiple instances of rat activity, indicating persistent pest management challenges. The property has previously documented various maintenance issues dating back to 2021, including problems with smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector compliance in Apartment 1L (which were resolved in 2022), and required painting of public hall ceilings on the third story. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly concerning heating systems and building security features, while notably demonstrating effective pest control measures for bedbugs over multiple reporting periods.
