374 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

374 East 54th Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush and managed by owner Marie Dejoie. The property, constructed in 1920, experienced several maintenance issues in late 2022, with multiple complaints centered around heat and hot water problems in November and December of that year.

These heating issues were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though investigations indicated that heat and hot water had been restored by the time of HPD's response, despite being originally filed as emergencies. The building had several other maintenance concerns in November 2022, including problems with window frames, plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower and steam pipe/riser), and reports of mold and pest issues.

Violations were issued for mold and window frame problems during HPD inspections, though no violations were found for the other complaints. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports filed in July 2024 and April 2023 showing no infested units, no eradications, and no re-infestations, covering the previous two years of monitoring. Since the series of complaints in late 2022, there have been no reported issues in the past year and a half, suggesting the building's systems may have stabilized, though no official resolution data is available for recent months.
