235 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

235 Hawthorne Street is a 9-story, 16-unit residential building located in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. Completed in 2017 and owned by Damion Smith, the building has experienced several notable events throughout its operating history. Most recently, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding the failure to submit required parking structure reports, resulting in a $2,500 penalty.

The building has consistently required bedbug report filings, with the most recent report in July 2024 showing no infested units between November 2022 and October 2023. Several Certificate of Occupancy-related complaints were filed in 2019-2020, though inspections found no violations in two of the cases, and in the case where access was denied, it was marked as closed. The building underwent various inspections and permit issuances during its construction phase in 2018-2019, including issuance of multiple permits for different construction phases. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2019.

While there have been multiple bedbug report violations from 2021-2024, these appear to be primarily procedural rather than indicating actual infestations, as the reports consistently show zero infested or eradicated units. The building's inspection history suggests regular oversight and prompt addressing of violations, with most issues being resolved or dismissed upon inspection or through proper filing of required documents. During its construction phase, there were several safety and compliance violations noted regarding scaffolding and OSHA training in January 2019, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's recent history shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent filings showing no reported infestations.
