384 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

384 East 34th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Lorraine Pinder. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout January-February 2024, though inspections often failed to gain access to verify conditions or resulted in no violations.

More concerning is the current situation in Apartment 5, which has multiple open violations from February 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, excessive hot water temperature, and a reported roach infestation. The building has also accumulated several open violations from 2023-2024, including the need to file annual bedbug reports and problems with door self-closing mechanisms.

Historically, the building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in recent years, with a notable building-wide outage in December 2020 that was reportedly resolved shortly after. While many past complaints resulted in no violations being found, the persistence of heating system issues and the current violation status of Apartment 5 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
