430 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

At 430 Midwood Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, this two-story, four-unit Old Law tenement building, constructed in 1931 and currently managed by Townhouse Rental, LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a series of water-related problems reported in September 2024, including a slow water leak in Apartment 1L that resulted in violations, though inspections for associated mold and wall damage found no violations. Additional violation notices in September 2024 for Apartment 1L required repairs for various issues, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leak repairs, and plaster/paint maintenance.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual filings (2020-2024) showing zero infested units. Historical records show a heat/hot water issue in 2018 with no violation, and various earlier violations from 2018 include outdoor lighting concerns and a self-closing door issue from 1999, both of which have been certified as resolved. The building's maintenance history shows active management response to violations, with several being certified as corrected by October 2024, including repairs to the water leak source, plaster surfaces, and safety devices in Apartment 1L.

The property has maintained a passing rodent inspection record since 2014, and all required bedbug reporting has shown no infestation cases. The Department of Buildings records indicate multiple permits issued in 2019, suggesting proactive maintenance and compliance efforts by ownership. While the recent water-related issues in 2024 represent the most significant current building concerns, the property's comprehensive record-keeping and prompt violation resolution process demonstrate ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements.
