423 Cleveland Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building at 423 Cleveland Street in East New York, owned by Antonio Guzman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from 2022 concerning Apartment Floor 2, including lead-based paint hazards on the north and east walls, water leak issues affecting ceilings, and problems with the ceiling's plastered surfaces requiring repair and repainting.

The building has documented temperature regulation issues, with hot water exceeding the 130-degree Fahrenheit maximum, and safety concerns including missing carbon monoxide detectors in the same apartment. The property has a history of various complaints and violations between 2020 and 2024, including multiple 311 service requests for pests, heat/hot water issues, and a safety concern regarding smoke detectors that was unable to be inspected. In late 2022, after receiving complaints about heat and hot water problems, violations were issued for excessive hot water temperatures affecting all plumbing fixtures, with associated violations for various maintenance issues in Apartment Floor 2.

The building's management has generally addressed complaints when given access, as evidenced by multiple closed cases, though some violations remain open as of the most recent data. The building has been in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the most recent filing period (2023-2024) showing no infestation, and passed a rodent inspection in 2012. A few complaints regarding work without permits were filed between 2020-2022, but these were either closed without violations or didn't warrant further action upon inspection.
