441 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, four-unit building at 441 New Lots Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Obinna Eneanya and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three documented heating and hot water complaints in the past three years (2022, 2023, and 2024), with the most recent incident in February 2024 reportedly resulting in an HPD inspection where access to apartments could not be obtained.

The building has also faced challenges with sanitary conditions, including a mold complaint in August 2023 that was inspected without violations being issued. Recent inspections and violations from early 2024 focus primarily on the third-floor apartment (3FL), where multiple issues have been identified, including a defective self-closing door latch, broken ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen, and a requirement to repaint all ceilings and walls with light-colored paint. In 2023, the first-floor apartment (1R) was documented as having roach and mice infestations, both of which were reportedly addressed.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no documented infestations in the past three reporting periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2022-2023). Earlier violations from 2019-2020 included issues with window guards and window repairs in the third-floor apartment, though these were certified as resolved. The property's maintenance history indicates recurring issues with basic services (heat/hot water) and pest control, particularly in the more recent years.
