584 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

584 Maple Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Felix Jean-philippe. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between February and November. While some of these complaints were resolved, they indicate a concerning pattern of heat and hot water system reliability issues.

More recently, the building has struggled with rodent infestation, with the most recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene findings from October 2024 showing violations that required follow-up inspections. The rodent problem appears persistent, with multiple bait applications recorded in early 2025 and reports of rat activity in late 2024. The building currently has several open violations that warrant attention.

These include an active violation as of September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, along with similar violations from 2023 and 2022 that remain unresolved. Additionally, there are multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 that are still open, including requirements to maintain proper bedding bug reporting, address fire escape ladder safety, and post necessary safety notices regarding gas leaks and building registration. Of particular concern is a Class C violation from February 2022 indicating inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 6, which appears to have been only partially addressed given subsequent complaints about building-wide heat/hot water issues. The combination of persistent rodent problems, unresolved maintenance violations, and a history of heat system failures suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort at this property.
