442 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, three-unit building at 442 Midwood Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Marlene Wilkes, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over its history. Most concerning are four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, indicating ongoing concerns about pest management in the building.

The property has an additional open violation from August 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance, where the minimum required 100-watt lighting was not being maintained as required by the Administrative Code. A cluster of service requests from October 2018, which were closed without inspection, highlighted multiple concerns including unsanitary conditions (pests), bell/buzzer/intercom issues, and door problems.

While these specific complaints were closed, the lack of access for inspection raises questions about the quality of the resolution. The building's violation and complaint history suggests persistent challenges with maintenance compliance, particularly regarding pest management requirements. However, no recent complaints have been filed since 2018, and the building's structure appears to be in reasonably good condition based on available data, with most issues relating to maintenance compliance rather than structural deficiencies.
