329 Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 329 Woodbine Street in Bushwick, owned by Sinai Sassouni, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. Most notably, there are current unresolved issues as of October 2024 regarding both a slow water leak and mold (unsanitary condition), which HPD was unable to inspect when complaints were filed.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including a lack of heat and hot water in November 2023, and multiple appliance (refrigerator) and plumbing (basin/sink) issues reported in August 2022 that remained uninspected until mid-2023. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations, including multiple safety concerns regarding self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule, and problems with glass panes in the vestibule door noted in November 2023.

A heat/water temperature violation was recorded for Apartment 2R in June 2022, where water exceeded the maximum allowable temperature of 130 degrees. While bedbug infestations have not been reported in any of the apartments during the last five reporting periods (2020-2025), the property has experienced rodent-related issues in the past, with reports of rat activity in 2020 and August 2022, though recent inspections (2024-2025) have passed with no violations. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with access for inspections and repairs, as noted in multiple complaints where HPD was unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections.
