365 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 365 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Maxine Johnson, has experienced recurring heating issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2024 and multiple instances in late 2023 and 2021. These heat and hot water complaints, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, have often resulted in inspection access issues, preventing proper verification of conditions.

The building has also faced infrastructural challenges, including plumbing issues in 2019 affecting bathtubs/showers and unsanitary conditions related to mold during the same period, with inspectors again unable to gain access for verification. A notable regulatory compliance issue was observed in 2023 when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development issued a violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent inspections in 2024 showed no evidence of infestation, and the building has maintained a pest-free record with zero reported infested units across multiple bedbug reporting periods since 2020.

While the building passed a rodent inspection in 2020, a rat sighting complaint was filed in November 2023, though inspectors were unable to access the property for verification. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly concerning heating systems, though recent bedbug and rodent reports indicate successful management of those specific issues.
