447 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 447 New Lots Avenue in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, a heat and hot water emergency was reported in December 2020, though this was resolved within four days according to HPD records.

The building has consistently faced challenges with Apartment 3B, which was found to have multiple violations during the October 2023 inspection, including mold (B-class), and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (both B-class), though the latter two violations were certified as corrected by November 2023. In addition, there are several active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020-2022. The property has a history of various maintenance issues, including a significant incident in 2022 involving vermin infestation in the cellar (B-class violation) and problems with the building entrance self-closing doors (C-class violation).

Other notable issues include a 2023 violation regarding broken ceramic floor tiles in the second-story public hall, and a required annual bedbug report that was not filed in March 2022. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report for the period 2023-2024 showing no affected units. The property has a positive rodent inspection history, having passed an inspection in July 2012.
