350 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

350 Midwood Street, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1931 and currently owned by James Pearson, Jr., has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in December 2024 and continuing into early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems throughout the building, with emergency complaints filed for both entire building and apartment-specific issues.

The building is currently facing several open violations as of December 2024, including defective fire escapes (Class C violation), issues with fire retardant plaster (Class B violation), and various safety notice requirements that have not been met, such as gas leak procedures and carbon monoxide detector requirements (Class A violations). The building also has documented issues with water and plumbing systems in late 2024, including slow leaks and sink problems, as well as concerns about unsanitary conditions such as mold and ceiling paint/plaster issues.

Several HPD inspections in December 2024 were unable to gain access to complete necessary inspections, leading to the issuance of open violations. While there are some historical records of rodent inspections showing a mix of passed and failed inspections between 2010 and 2013, these appear less relevant given the more pressing current maintenance issues. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building upkeep, particularly regarding heating systems andwater infrastructure.
