307 Arlington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

307 Arlington Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joseph Lafontant. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns being three open Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024.

The building underwent an inspection in 2018 that identified several maintenance issues, including problems with stairs, plumbing (basin/sink), walls, and various electrical components, all of which were classified as emergencies. More recent complaints from late 2019-2020 also reflect ongoing maintenance challenges, including issues with walls, electrical systems, and a door problem categorized as an emergency. All of these complaints were officially closed, though many required follow-up action from tenants if problems persisted.

Additionally, there is an open Class B violation from 2018 regarding the need to repair broken or defective bricks at the stoop steps, and the property has a passed rodent inspection from March 2012. The building has not received any significant recent violations or complaints since the 2019-2020 period, though it is worth noting that many previous complaints were not inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development due to access issues. The consistent pattern of violations requiring bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 to 2024 suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues, though these are mainly procedural rather than directly impacting resident safety or comfort.
