361 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family residential building at 361 East 51st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Ariel Sholomov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in late 2024. Most notably, there were simultaneous complaints reported on December 4, 2024, regarding lack of heat/hot water and a power outage affecting the entire building.

Both incidents were classified as emergency situations and while they were formally closed by HPD, inspections could not be completed due to access issues, with instructions provided to file new complaints if problems persisted. These recent occurrences are particularly concerning given the building's age (constructed in 1910) and the potential impact on resident comfort and safety.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent cleanliness and pest management over the past five years, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug complaints, with the annual reporting periods consistently showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This suggests effective pest management practices have been in place, providing some reassurance to potential tenants regarding one of the more common residential issues in New York City.
