238 Arlington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

238 Arlington Avenue, a three-story two-family house built in 1905 in Cypress Hills, currently owned by Michael Yehounatan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems. The most recent incidents, documented in March 2023 and December 2022, involved complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, which were classified as emergencies by Housing Maintenance Code.

Unfortunately, in both cases, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions, leading to the closure of these complaints without resolution. Prior to these heating issues, there was a pest-related complaint in November 2021 regarding unsanitary conditions, which also resulted in an inability to access the premises for inspection and was subsequently closed.

Looking further back, the property underwent a rodent inspection in May 2012, which it passed successfully. The repeated nature of the heating system complaints, occurring in both winter 2022 and 2023, suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge, though the lack of access for inspections in these cases makes it difficult to assess the severity of the issues. While the building's documented history shows some maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems, it's worth noting that the complaints were properly reported through the appropriate channels and are now on record for potential future reference.
