343 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

343 Ashford Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Colleen Mcentee. The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services, most notably a pattern of heat and hot water problems.

In December 2023, there were simultaneous complaints about heat and electrical outages, with the heat-related issue classified as an emergency. These followed a series of heat and hot water complaints in April 2022, during which inspection attempts were unsuccessful as the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to the apartments for evaluation. The building's electrical systems have also been problematic, with a power outage incident recorded in December 2023, though this complaint was classified as non-emergency.

The property has faced some regulatory compliance challenges, as evidenced by two Department of Buildings complaints in 2022. In April 2022, there was a complaint that could not be resolved due to insufficient information or inability to locate the address, and in August 2022, there was a second inspection attempt that was denied access. While these building-related complaints were ultimately closed, the recurring nature of the heating system issues and the access problems encountered by inspectors suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
