389 Crescent Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 389 Crescent Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Andrew Barnes and built in 1910, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023. There were multiple plumbing emergencies, with four separate water supply complaints between August and December 2023, along with window guard safety concerns during the same period.
Apartment 2 has documented violations regarding excessively hot water (over 130 degrees F) in both August and December 2023, and there is currently an open violation from December 2023 regarding the improper posting of the certificate of inspection visits in the first-story public hall. The building has had recurring rodent activity issues, with inspections in both 2019 and 2020 showing rat activity, though more recent bug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations. Past building history reveals several significant incidents, including a work contrary to a stop work order in 2020, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with imposed penalties totaling over $37,500, though many of these violations have since been resolved.
The Department of Buildings had to revoke a plumbing permit in 2020, and there were issues with hot water safety and window guard compliance that required multiple corrections. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2022 through 2024, and while there were inspections showing rodent activity in 2019 and 2020, the most recent inspections have not reported this issue. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work, particularly focusing on plumbing systems, with permits issued in 2019-2022 for various improvements.
