359 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

At 359 Midwood Street, a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, there has been a notable pattern of heat and hot water-related issues. Most recently in March 2023, a complaint was filed regarding lack of heat or hot water throughout the entire building, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection.

This incident followed a series of bedbug reporting violations over three consecutive years (2021-2023) where the building received Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, though these violations were subsequently closed. However, it's important to note that recent bedbug reporting from 2024 and 2025 (filing period ending October 31, 2024) indicates that the building has experienced no bedbug infestations in the past two years, with all units showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units on the most recent four filings (April 2025, December 2024, November 2024, and March 2024).

This suggests successful remediation of the previous bedbug reporting compliance issues, though the building's recent history of heat and hot water complaints remains a concern. The property is currently owned by Theodora Parris, and while the building has experienced various compliance issues in recent years, the most pressing concerns appear to be historical rather than ongoing, with the most recent serious complaint dating back to 2023.
