275 Mother Gaston Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The property at 275 Mother Gaston Blvd is a 6-unit, 3-story tenement building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Sam Nhok. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently documented in March 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding these utilities, though they were resolved quickly with restoration of services. There is evidence of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding window issues (frames, panes, guards) and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest problems.

A significant cluster of complaints in January 2025 also included plumbing issues, though many of these complaints were marked as "non-emergency" and HPD had difficulty accessing units for inspection. The building has a documented history of violations and repairs. In May 2024, several violations were addressed in Apartment 3, including roof leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were certified as corrected by June 2024.

Prior violations from October 2023 identified issues with self-closing doors at the building entrance. The property was notably issued a bedbug reporting requirement in March 2023, though subsequent annual reports (2024-2025) indicate no units were infested or affected. A prior violation from 2018 regarding a defaced vacate order from 2014 was resolved with a $400 penalty. Historical records show rat activity was detected during a 2017 inspection, and earlier maintenance issues were documented in 2022 regarding water leaks, plumbing problems, and ceiling repairs in Apartment 1.
