400 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

400 Crescent Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, built in 2005 and currently owned by Yue Ru Chen. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant recent problems occurring in 2019 when multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints were filed, though these were resolved promptly with systems restored. More recent inspections in 2023 revealed several important safety concerns, including three Class C violations related to defective self-closing doors at the building's front entrance, boiler room, and cellar entrance, though these issues were certified as corrected by June 2023.

The building's rodent management history shows consistent attention to pest control, with regular baiting and inspections throughout 2023, though a rat sighting was reported in June 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record according to annual reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, with no reported infestations or eradications during these periods. The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance checks over the years, with most violations being addressed promptly.

Notable historical issues include a 2018 violation for a broken bathroom window pane in Apartment 2, a 2017 bell buzzer problem in Apartment 3, and various door-related violations. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to reported issues, as evidenced by prompt inspections and corrections, though the pattern of repeated heat/hot water complaints in 2019 and ongoing rodent activity in 2023 suggests these may be recurring challenges. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2023 passed, indicating current compliance with health standards.
