507 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-unit, three-story building at 507 Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Ashim Kaul, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in December 2024. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by HPD, resulting in some violations being issued that required the property owner to address specific conditions.

These issues included problems with paint/plaster on walls, door/window functionality, and various plumbing concerns, particularly involving basins/sinks. While several of these complaints were ultimately found not to violate housing laws, others resulted in official violations that required correction. The building has persistent open violations regarding annual bedbug report filing requirements, dating back to 2021, which have not yet been certified as resolved.

Additionally, there is a 2018 open violation related to inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway, which bears Class B designation indicating it potentially affects building access. While HPD has closed multiple recent complaints, and categorized some as emergencies and others as non-emergency, the presence of multiple violations and maintenance issues suggests ongoing property management challenges. The building, constructed in 2005, has generally been subject to typical urban maintenance issues, with the most significant being the recurring bedbug reporting requirement violations that span multiple years.
