349 Legion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

349 Legion Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with sewage odors, particularly evident in three separate Indoor Air Quality complaints between 2023 and 2024, with the most recent occurring in November 2024. The building has also faced periodic heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints recorded in 2021 and 2024, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

Notable maintenance issues include a cluster of violations and complaints in December 2022 related to mold, electrical appliances, and heating systems, as well as several safety-related violations in 2020 concerning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and door self-closing mechanisms. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in October 2024 resulting in a passing grade, though previous inspections showed mixed results between 2018 and 2029. The building's history reveals consistent adherence to bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2025.

Violations from 2020-2021 included issues with door closures, pest control, and hallway obstructions, all of which were subsequently addressed. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has inspected the property multiple times, generally finding no violations except for the persistent sewage odor issue that prompted advisories to the property management. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, records indicate that most issues have been addressed upon inspection, though some problems, particularly related to air quality and heating, remain recurring concerns.
