350 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 350 East 51st Street, owned by Dorothy Wade, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. Between January 2025 and February 2025, multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding various issues, including plumbing problems in bathrooms and sinks, door/window concerns, electrical lighting issues, wall damage, and unsanitary mold conditions.

In nearly all cases, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their inspections, and the complaints were ultimately closed without resolution. The building's recent history indicates persistent maintenance compliance issues, particularly in 2020, when multiple violations were documented regarding door security, fire escape access, and safety notices. These include an open Class B violation concerning encumbered fire escapes and several Class A violations related to gas leak and carbon monoxide safety notices.

Active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 remain, including failure to maintain building surfaces and non-compliance with previous orders, resulting in penalties of $2,500. The building's bedbug reporting from the most recent filing period (2022-2023) shows no infestation records, and a rodent inspection in October 2022 resulted in a passing grade. While previous bedbug violations were noted between 2021 and 2024 (most recently in April 2024), the most recent filing suggests successful eradication efforts.
