315 Lott Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 3-story, 6-unit building at 315 Lott Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Nivida Diaz, has been facing ongoing challenges with its heating systems, particularly evident in emergency HPD complaints in December 2022 and January 2023 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building. The property, built in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, is currently dealing with several open violations from a September 2024 inspection, including issues with self-closing doors in apartments 2, 3, and 6, as well as the entrance to the cellar in the public hall.

While previous violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and carbon monoxide detector notifications have been addressed and closed, there remain open citations regarding proper notices for tenants about housing information and a defective bulkhead door on the 3rd story. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to compliance requirements, with previous bedbug filings in 2024 and 2021 showing no active infestations during those periods.

Historical records from 2011 indicate some rodent control compliance issues, but these are significantly dated compared to current inspection activity. Of particular note is the pattern of heating system issues in late 2022 and early 2023, suggesting a persistent infrastructure challenge that affected resident comfort during those winter months. The building's age and design as a New Law Tenement reflect typical urban housing characteristics, with the most recent violations focusing primarily on door hardware and safety-related notifications rather than major structural or systems failures.
