349 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 349 New Lots Avenue, owned by Ronald Fletcher and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning pest control and moisture problems. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building has open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 through 2024, which is a notable compliance issue.

In December 2018, several significant violations were documented in apartment 2R, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards and various safety issues such as a non-self-closing door and an improperly installed air conditioner unit, though these were subsequently resolved by January 2019. Historical records show a mixed pattern of rodent inspection results, with failures recorded in 2009 and 2010, though a passing grade was noted in 2012. The building's most recent service requests and violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding pest management and moisture control.

While the most recent complaints have been addressed without issuing violations, the pattern of open bedbug reporting violations over multiple years indicates persistent monitoring requirements. The property has a history of both resolved and ongoing maintenance issues, though many older violations have been addressed and closed. The building's age (95 years old as of 2025) and classification as a New Law Tenement provide context for its historical maintenance challenges, though the most recent inspection results have not resulted in formal violations being issued.
