349 Jamaica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit building at 349 Jamaica Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Paul Stephens, has a documented history dating back to its 1899 construction and has been classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A." The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a water supply problem in February 2023 requiring HPD intervention, and a heat/hot water complaint from March 2022 that could not be inspected due to lack of apartment access. Multiple inspections in March 2022 confirmed no violations regarding wall and pest issues, though there were two separate pest-related complaints.

The building has also generated four consecutive annual bedbug violation notices between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings from 2024-2025 indicate no current infestations or eradications, suggesting compliance with reporting requirements. The property's maintenance record shows attention to various issues, with the most recent bedbug report from May 2025 showing zero infested units and no eradication cases, indicating effective pest management practices. A 2019 complaint regarding an illegal curb cut was investigated and found to have no warranted violations.

A rodent inspection from May 2012 was passed, though this is quite dated compared to more recent events. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, most complaints have been resolved, with the notable exception of the 2022 heat/hot water complaint where access was denied. The property has maintained its status as a converted Class A building with three units, and though there have been various maintenance challenges, there have been no documented violations related to basic building safety systems.
