83 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
83 Woodruff Avenue is a 17-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building located in Flatbush, built in 1920 and currently owned by Marc Goldstein. The building has faced recurrent maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns involving multiple complaints about water leaks and unsanitary conditions (pests) in April 2025, for which violations were issued. Prior to this, there was another water leak incident in May 2024.
The property has a significant history of pest-related problems, particularly evident in Apartment 3D, which has documented violations for rodent and roach infestations in both 2022 and 2024. Water-related issues seem to be a pattern, with multiple complaints recorded in 2024 and earlier. The building has also experienced heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in 2022 and 2019 affecting the entire building or specific apartments.
The property owner has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by certification dates ranging from February 2022 to August 2024, though there have been instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the mandatory reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no units reported as infested or needing eradication. Recent inspections in 2024 resulted in violations related to defective plaster, paint, and pest infestations in Apartment 3D, classified as Class B and C violations, while a November 2022 Local Law 188 inspection found no violations. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of both resolved and recurring issues, with particular attention needed regarding water leaks and pest management in recent years.
