505 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

505 Midwood Street, a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1999 in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, is currently facing several significant maintenance challenges as of mid-2025. Most notably, the property has experienced multiple water leak incidents since December 2023, with five emergency complaints regarding heavy water flow between December 2023 and April 2024.

While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were conducted in response to these complaints, no violations were issued for the water leak cases, and some were documented as having been resolved, though with a note for residents to file new complaints if issues persisted. Additionally, the building has ongoing administrative compliance issues, with four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) §HMC.

These violations span from 2021 through 2024, indicating a persistent lapse in this regulatory requirement over multiple years. The most recent such violation was recorded in April 2024, though similar violations were documented in March 2022 and earlier. Despite these violations being categorized as Class A, which typically indicates more serious conditions, it's important to note that the housing code violations do not necessarily reflect current pest conditions, as they pertain to filing requirements rather than existing infestations.
