282 East 35th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 125-unit, 6-story building at 282 East 35th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Maria Valente, has experienced recurring maintenance issues between 2024 and 2025, with particularly notable problems regarding heating and plumbing. During 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about heating and hot water issues affecting various parts of the building, with inspections often unable to gain access. Recent plumbing issues in May 2025 involved problems with toilets and sinks, though inspectors were again unable to complete their inspections.

The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in late 2024 and a pest violation in June 2025. The property has experienced repeated violations regarding building systems and maintenance, including electrical issues in apartment 2S (July 2024), multiple water leak problems, and several self-closing door violations. The building's elevator system has also been a concern, with multiple violations regarding electrical brake monitoring in 2020.

The property has maintained regular bedbug treatment protocols, with recent reports in 2024 showing successful eradication of infestations, though there appears to be a pattern of recurring infestations over the years. The building's management has faced challenges with regulatory compliance, as demonstrated by multiple ECB violations, including a 2022 incident regarding the failure to submit required cycle 9A reports for exterior wall examination, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. While the building has undergone some inspections and received various permits, including an electrical work permit in 2019, the frequency of maintenance complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort. The property has maintained a passing status in recent rodent inspections (2023 and 2024), though earlier inspections had noted concerns.
