798 Howard Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

798 Howard Avenue is a 23-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by CB CSH 2015 LLC. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past three years, with the most recent complaint in March 2025 involving heavy water flow, though HPD determined no violations were present. Significant concerns were documented in late 2024 and early 2025, including an open heat/hot water issue, multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow), and pest infestations, particularly an infestation of roaches and mice in Apartment 4D that was certified as resolved in January 2025.

Additional maintenance challenges were identified in Apartment 4B during a June 2024 inspection, including problems with the roof leading to leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and mold issues. The building's history includes several building code violations and emergency maintenance requests, though many have been successfully addressed through subsequent inspections. Notably, the property has maintained an active record of bedbug monitoring since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested units.

Rodent inspections between 2016 and 2021 show some variability in results, with initial inspections in 2016 and 2021 passing, while inspections in 2017 recorded failures for various reasons. Recent improvements include the issuance of a building permit in July 2018 for plumbing work (Job Number 321272966). While the building has faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water issues, the management has shown compliance with many violations and has regularly documented pest control efforts.
