375 Essex Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 375 Essex Street in East New York, owned by Avraham Harazy, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in April 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified rodent-related violations that required follow-up inspections. The building's electrical system faced multiple violations in 2017, particularly affecting apartment 1B, where unsafe wiring conditions and inadequate power supply to ceiling fixtures were documented.

Earlier violations from 2016 reveal various safety concerns, including a missing balluster in the public hall stairs, inadequate hot water supply in multiple apartments, and the illegal conversion of single-room occupancy units in first-floor apartments. Two separate instances of unauthorized double key cylinder locks installation at the front yard gate were noted as security violations in 2016. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2023 resulting in a "failed for other reasons" status, and earlier in May 2023 also receiving a failing grade.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a bedbug-free status as of November 2024, with no reported infestations during the previous two-year filing period. Earlier inspections from 2012 and 2016 showed compliance with rodent-related regulations, suggesting that while recent rodent issues are concerning, the building has passed such inspections in the past. All known violations have received certification as closed by November 2024, indicating that the management has worked to address these issues, though the persistence of rodent problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
