395 Jerome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

395 Jerome Street is a three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, built in 1906 and currently owned by Terry Winston. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of concerns emerging in May 2025, including problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower and radiator), electrical systems (outlet/switch), appliance (electric/gas range), general maintenance (bell/buzzer/intercom), and paint/plaster (wall).

These complaints follow a similar pattern of reported issues from March 2025, where multiple HPD inspection attempts were made but access was not granted. The building has multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with these violations remaining unaddressed since at least 2021. The property has a history of various emergency maintenance issues, particularly involving plumbing and electrical systems, with multiple documented incidents between 2024 and 2025 affecting amenities such as lighting, sinks, toilets, and bathtubs/showers.

In total, there were eight emergency complaints recorded in 2024-2025 alone, plus several non-emergency issues. While there was an initial rodent inspection conducted in 2012 that passed, the building's recent and ongoing maintenance challenges suggest persistent issues with basic infrastructure systems. Notably, all recent HPD inspections have been unable to be completed, either due to lack of access or other procedural limitations, which may hinder resolution of persistent building issues.
