305 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

305 Eldert Street is a 4-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement located in Bushwick and owned by Lincinco Inc, dating back to 1909. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four documented incidents between 2018 and 2022, including building-wide outages and individual apartment problems. The most recent incident occurred in October 2022, affecting apartment 4B, which also had multiple violations including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as issues with hot water access.

Apartment 4B appears to be the most frequently affected unit, with documented problems including water leaks, wall damage, and various appliance issues all recorded in 2022. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly in 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues such as water leaks, appliance problems, and wall conditions, though many of these inspections were marked as "unable to gain access." A significant number of violations were noted in 2018-2019, including issues with window frames, plaster surfaces, and an illegal locking mechanism in the south yard. More recently, the building was inspected for bedbugs and rodent activity, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing passed results. While there have been some instances of bedbug infestation in the past (most recently in 2022-2023), the current status as of 2025 shows no active infestations.

The building's annual boiler inspection compliance has been noted, with a violation issued in 2019 for failure to file the report, though this was later dismissed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2016, with most showing passed results, with the exception of one showing rat activity in 2016. In recent years, particularly from 2018 onward, the building's maintenance issues have been more pronounced, with multiple housing maintenance code violations and emergency service requests. While some conditions have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections, several open violations remain, particularly concerning apartment 4B's safety systems and various maintenance issues.
