251 Mother Gaston Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-story, 10-unit tenement building at 251 Mother Gaston Blvd in Brownsville, built in 1921 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water, electrical lighting, flooring conditions, and window frames, though inspections resulted in no violations being noted.

In October 2024, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges including violations related to mold and pest infestations, particularly affecting apartment 4A. The 4A apartment has several open violations as of October 2024, including issues with mold, pests, multiple door/window problems, and safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations from this inspection have been marked as closed. The building's history shows recurring issues with basic services and maintenance, including a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in January 2023, which resulted in no violations.

Additional past issues include problems with an electric/gas range in March 2022 (with violations issued), and various maintenance concerns in 2024 involving floors, doors, and unsanitary conditions. While the building has passed rodent inspections (most recently in 2018), it has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025). A construction-related complaint was referred to HPD in February 2020, though the outcome of that complaint is not specified in the records.
