365 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, five-unit building at 365 Crescent Street in Cypress Hills, owned by David Ramdayal and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2025. Between May and June 2025, the building had multiple documented issues, including window frame problems and door repairs, with housing violations issued in the recent May 2025 inspections. The property has a recurring pattern of heat and hot water-related complaints, with reports in February 2024 and February 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain apartment access to verify conditions.

A notable cluster of violations was recorded in August 2024, including issues with doors, water leaks, flooring, and ceiling conditions. More recently in 2025, there was an emergency complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster that received attention in July 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent infrastructure challenges, including electrical concerns (outlet/switch issues), water leaks, flooring problems, and door/windown repairs.

In addition to these maintenance issues, there was a rat sighting reported and investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2022, which resulted in violations. The property has experienced some complications with inspection access, notably regarding heat and hot water complaints in 2024 and 2025, as well as a complaint about work without a permit in March 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While many of these issues have been addressed through the HPD investigation and violation issuance process, the pattern of recurring maintenance complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges within the building. The records indicate that while some violations have been resolved, others remain pending correction based on the violation notice requirements.
