385 Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story residential building at 385 Woodbine Street in Bushwick, owned by Ricardo Lema, is a six-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a water leak with heavy flow reported in early 2023, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations.

Previous complaints include a sewage issue in late 2021 and a heat/hot water problem in early 2021, both of which were resolved through HPD intervention. The building has also faced pest-related issues in December 2020, resulting in violations, and historically required remediation for rodent problems, though recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 passed without issue. Significant code violations remain open from a March 2021 inspection, including requirements to post various safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and maintaining proper building registration information.

There are also outstanding issues related to lead-based paint hazard notification requirements. However, on a positive note, the building has had consistently zero bedbug infestations reported in the annual Bedbug Reporting program since 2019, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed successfully. The building's 311 service request history and Housing Maintenance Code complaint records indicate ongoing maintenance attention is required, particularly regarding building safety notices and compliance with various administrative code requirements.
