535 Thatford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The building at 535 Thatford Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Anne Marie Stanislaus, is a 3-story, 2-family house constructed in 1998. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past year, with ten documented complaints between November 2023 and January 2025, all classified as emergencies and primarily affecting the entire building.

HPD inspections of these complaints generally resulted in either no violations being found or the inspectors being unable to gain access to conduct a proper assessment. More recently, in early 2025, there was also a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though inspectors were unable to access the property to investigate.

In addition to the heating issues, the building has faced some other maintenance concerns including plumbing and electrical problems in June 2024, both of which were inspected by HPD without any violations being issued. The repeated nature of the heat and hot water complaints, particularly during the winter months, and the recent pest control issue in 2025, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. However, it's worth noting that in most recent heat/hot water complaints, HPD inspections generally did not find violations, indicating that while the complaints were numerous, the situations may not always have constituted legal violations under housing codes.
