373 Berriman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family residence at 373 Berriman Street in East New York, owned by Abdul Hoque, is a 2-story building constructed in 1901 with three units. The most significant recent incident occurred in July 2022, when an emergency heat and hot water complaint was filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). This inspection resulted in multiple violations, primarily affecting the second-story apartment, including issues with inadequate hot water supply and defective self-closing doors.

The building faced several violations related to safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to post proper notices regarding gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and an inspection certificate. Additional violations included the accumulation of refuse in the building front and issues with self-closing doors at both the building entrance and the second-story apartment entrance. The building has shown some attention to compliance, with many violations being certified as corrected by September 2022.

Earlier records show a successful rodent inspection in May 2012, which passed. While the July 2022 violations indicate some maintenance and safety oversight issues, it's worth noting that these violations were addressed and closed within a reasonable timeframe. The building's age and history suggest typical urban residential challenges, but the recent violations primarily stemmed from a single incident rather than ongoing systemic issues.
