152 Glen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

152 Glen Street is a 2-story, 2-family house located in Cypress Hills, built in 1901 and currently owned by Kasheem Jones. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during early 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, electrical outages, and unsanitary conditions. Between March and April 2023, eight separate complaints were submitted through the HPD, including emergency reports of heat/hot water issues (four instances), multiple electrical problems including power outages and lack of lighting (four instances), and a refrigerator issue.

These complaints resulted in some violations being issued, though inspections found no violations in certain cases. More concerning, the building currently has several open violations as of March 2023, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (1FL) and first-floor front (1STFLO) units. These violations include problems with electrical service, heating systems, carbon monoxide detectors, and an ongoing issue with roach infestations. The first-floor apartment (1FL) has recognized violations regarding electrical service to fixtures, a broken electrical wall outlet, a defective door in the kitchen, and issues with water temperature control.

The first floor front apartment (1STFLO) has violations related to heating, electrical service, carbon monoxide detection, and pest control requirements. While the property had previously passed a rodent inspection in April 2012, the current state of multiple open violations and recent emergency complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The majority of the 2023 complaints were either not inspected due to lack of access or were closed without violations being issued, though some violations were confirmed through inspections of other units in the building. The most recent complaints were addressed and closed by June 2023, but the persistence of open violations as of March 2023 indicates continued attention to these issues may be required.
