537 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
537 New Jersey Avenue, a two-family house located in East New York, is a 2-story building owned by Aboubacar Ademola and constructed in 1901. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in January 2020, with multiple emergency complaints and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) documenting these problems.
During the same period, there were violations related to radiator issues in Apt 2, including broken or defective inoperative radiators, and problems with hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees. The building also faced some structural safety concerns in 2020, with violations issued regarding a missing glass pane skylight and an unsecured roof scuttle ladder.
More recently, in April 2025, there was a rodent-related complaint that HPD was unable to inspect, though a subsequent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building's history shows some persistent maintenance challenges, particularly relating to heating systems and pest control, though many past violations have been closed, indicating resolution of those specific issues.
