304 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 304 New Lots Avenue in East New York, built in 1901 and currently owned by US Bank National Association, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year-and-a-half. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heating and hot water problems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While some of these complaints were marked as corrected, several required multiple reports before resolution, and there were instances where inspectors could not gain access to the premises for verification. More recently, in April 2025, the building faced electrical issues with inadequate lighting and door problems, resulting in violations being issued by HPD. Prior to the current heating issues, the building underwent some exterior maintenance work, including roofing repairs documented in March to June 2024, during which violations were also issued.

Historical records from the property show consistent usage of 311 services for various maintenance concerns, particularly during colder months when heating systems appeared to be particularly problematic. The building's age and recurring nature of these complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the building's heating system and overall infrastructure. While some complaints were resolved through inspections and repairs, the pattern of repeated complaints and violation notices indicates potential concerns with the promptness and effectiveness of maintenance responses.
