45 Newport Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
45 Newport Street is a three-story, eight-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Robert Ainehsazan. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent problems emerging in mid-2024 involving unsanitary conditions (pests) and electrical outlet/switch concerns, both of which HPD was unable to access for inspection.
The building has documented multiple water-related issues, with both heavy flow and slow leaks reported between 2022 and 2024, though no violations were issued following inspections. Apartment 5 has had several maintenance violations documented in August 2024, including issues with plaster surfaces, kitchen ceiling conditions, and a self-closing door mechanism, while Apartment 6 had violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in January 2024. Recent inspections and complaints (2025) have focused on various maintenance issues including problems with flooring, plumbing fixtures, and mold.
The property appears to have maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with all reporting periods from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units. While many complaints have been resolved, including several non-emergency issues in mid-2025, there remain concerns about access issues during inspections and recurring maintenance problems. The most significant recent violation, as of October 2024, involved defective self-closing doors at the building's entrance, and there was a documented issue in 2023 regarding items obstructing fire escape egress.
