361 Legion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 361 Legion Street in Brownsville, owned by Martin Stein, has experienced various maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent concerning bedbug reporting in 2025 showing no infestations. A significant heat/hot water complaint was filed in March 2022, though HPD was unable to access the apartment for inspection.

The building underwent multiple inspections in September 2021, revealing several issues including problems with doors/windows, flooring/stairs, unsanitary conditions (pests), and plumbing (radiators), though no violations were issued. These inspections coincided with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including emergency issues with electrical lighting, power outage, and door problems, as well as non-emergency concerns about paint/plaster, flooring, water leaks, and plumbing. The property has had three consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2022-2025 showing zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.

Notably, between 2021-2022, the building received several violations that were subsequently addressed, including issues with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and pest infestation in Apartment 2R. There were also violations regarding water leaks and fire-retardant materials in the second-story public hall, all of which were closed following appropriate corrections. The building's maintenance history demonstrates a range of periodic issues typical of older residential buildings, though recent bedbug reporting and the absence of new violations in 2023-2025 indicate improved conditions.
