295 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The six-story, 33-unit building at 295 Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Michael Niamonitakis, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and plumbing systems. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple heating/hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, some classified as emergencies, though many were subsequently closed after HPD inspections found no violations or confirmed restoration of services. More concerning, in May 2025, the building received violations for plumbing issues and mold problems, with violation notices issued that require correction within specified timeframes.

The building has also faced pest management challenges, with a June 2024 inspection revealing rodent activity and multiple bait applications in early 2025. One apartment (5B) has had documented violations for pests (mice and roaches), water leaks, window issues, and smoke detector problems, though these were certified as corrected by July 2024. The property's infrastructure maintenance has been under scrutiny, with active violations from 2021-2023 regarding the display of energy efficiency scores. While there were some heating system improvements attempted in Spring 2025, including work orders sealed by the DOB, persistent heating system issues have been a recurring theme.

The building's record shows periodic rodent activity, with inspections in late 2024 and 2025 confirming the presence of rats despite bait applications. An inspection history from 2011-2016 shows earlier compliance with rodent control measures. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases since 2021. While the building's management has made efforts to address various violations and complaints, the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
