344 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

344 Ashford Street, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year. The property, currently owned by Eric Michael, is facing several open violations that impact resident safety and comfort.

These include an open Class C violation from July 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartment 3R, a May 2023 violation concerning mold conditions in apartment 3F, and several security-related issues from mid-2023 involving improperly installed locks and door devices. The building has a documented pattern of water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints in 2023 ranging from damp spots to heavy flow situations, some of which resulted in violations.

There are also recurring issues with appliances and fixtures, including multiple complaints about refrigerator problems and a range issue that went uninspected due to access problems. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases across all recent annual filings. While most of these violations and complaints have been closed through various repairs and interventions, many critical issues, particularly in apartment 3F regarding mold and in common areas concerning door security, remain unresolved as of July 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges within this East New York building.
