295 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 295 Grafton Street, owned by Ariel Mangami, is a 2-story building constructed in 1930, located in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. The property has experienced consistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaint regarding heat/hot water issues in December 2024 showing hot water exceeding the maximum temperature of 130°F in Apartment 1.

A series of complaints in April 2023 involved plumbing issues with the bathtub/shower and basin/sink, along with ceiling paint/plaster concerns, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building had multiple documented issues in 2020-2021, including electrical problems (power outage and lighting issues), water leakage, and mold concerns, some of which resulted in violations. Particularly concerning was the period in 2021 when multiple violations were issued, including problems with mold, water leaks, and various repairs needed in Apartment 1, though many of these violations were subsequently marked as closed.

The property's maintenance history shows some progress in recent years, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past year (March 2024 report) and rodent inspections in 2019 showing passing results, except for two failures in 2017-2018 for "Other Reasons." While many recent complaints have been resolved without violations being found, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has two open violations from 2021 related to water leaks and plaster surfaces in Apartment 1, though other issues from that period have been addressed. The building's age and history of various maintenance complaints indicate that while some improvements have been made, there remains a pattern of recurring building issues that require monitoring.
