394 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

394 Midwood Street is a 7-story, 16-unit residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, constructed in 2018 and currently owned by Shalev Barkai. The most significant recent issues affecting resident comfort occurred in January 2022, when multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water were filed for the entire building.

While some of these complaints were resolved quickly, with reports of restored services, one HPD inspection was unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with the most recent bedbug report (January 2024) showing no infestations between November 2022 and October 2023. During its brief history, the building has experienced some construction-related challenges.

In 2019, there were two incidents of construction safety compliance violations, including a Stop Work Order for non-compliant after-hours work in April, though these were resolved within a few months. A complaint about construction work contrary to approved plans was filed in January 2022 but was unsubstantiated upon investigation. The Department of Buildings also issued and later dismissed violations in July 2019 concerning failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions, indicating these issues were addressed promptly.
