371 Irving Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

371 Irving Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Raymond Morales. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a cluster of complaints in early 2025 involving mold, water leaks, and safety issues including smoke detector concerns, all of which were determined by HPD inspections to not violate housing laws. Of particular note is the building's ongoing battle with plumbing, electrical, and sanitation issues, as evidenced by multiple violations issued in December 2024, including problems with electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, and unsanitary conditions.

The building has also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, as indicated by multiple service requests in late 2024 through early 2025, though some of these issues were reportedly corrected. The property has an active bedbug infestation record showing 6 infested units in the most recent reporting period (2025), though previous years showed zero instances. Rodent activity has been consistently monitored, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 showing regular bait application and evidence of rat activity.

Historical records indicate various maintenance and safety compliance issues, including violations related to illegal activity (2019), boiler problems (2020), and external inspection failures (2023). The building's management has received numerous administrative code violations requiring attention to issues such as electrical systems, mold abatement, and various repairs in multiple apartments (notably apartments 2L and 4R). While some violations have been marked as resolved, others remain open as of the latest inspection records, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges for the property.
