346 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 346 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Geralrine Nzemba, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a power outage that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, though inspectors were unable to complete their evaluation.

Earlier in 2025, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints in February, including issues with toilets, water supply, and bathtub/shower facilities, with two of these complaints requiring HPD follow-up due to their inability to complete inspections. The building has also faced pest problems in 2025, as indicated by both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. Looking back at 2023, the property underwent an HPD inspection in April that addressed several issues including unsanitary conditions related to pests, sewage, and mold, though no violations were issued for these complaints.

The 2023 inspection also covered electrical lighting problems and flooring conditions. While some issues have been resolved, as evidenced by closed complaints with various resolution descriptions, the frequency and nature of these maintenance problems—particularly the recent electrical outage and plumbing issues—suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges in the building. Most complaints filed have eventually been closed, though the closure does not always indicate that the underlying issues were fully resolved, as noted in the resolution descriptions of several complaints where inspections could not be completed.
