237 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

237 Hawthorne Street is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, completed in 2017 and currently owned by 239 Hawthorne Realty LLC. The building has experienced two noteworthy incidents in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage in March 2023, which was categorized as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development responded quickly to this complaint and confirmed that heat and hot water were restored, the incident raised temporary concerns about basic service reliability. More recently, in March 2023, the building received a violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules, though this violation was subsequently closed.

On a positive note, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations since its construction, with all six annual bedbug reports (from 2019-2020 through 2024-2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. These reports, which are mandatory for buildings with 9 or more units, demonstrate the property's effective pest management practices and commitment to maintaining a sanitary environment. The most recent bedbug report filings from December 2024 show consistent compliance with reporting requirements, indicating that the previous violation related to bedbug reporting has been addressed.
