387 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

387 Hawthorne Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and owned by Eutive Mitchell. The building, constructed in 1989, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems revolving around heating, plumbing, and sanitation.

In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues (both apartment-specific and building-wide), plumbing problems in bathrooms, and pest infestations. The property has open violations as of October 2023, including a water-proofing requirement for the bathroom floor in Apartment 1 and an infestation of mice and roaches in that same unit, along with several safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold, and damaged infrastructure requiring attention in both Apartment 1 and the first floor. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2017 and 2023 showing periods of rat activity, though a compliance inspection in January 2023 indicated improvement.

Other records show various violations related to the property's use and maintenance, including an active ECB violation from 2022 regarding an abandoned vehicle with broken windows on the property. The Department of Buildings has previously cited the property for illegal use of residential space and parking violations, though some of these issues were later resolved. Multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2024-2025 demonstrate ongoing concerns with basic building systems and unit conditions, including heat/hot water, plumbing, and sanitary maintenance.
