2201 Caton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2201 Caton Avenue is a 36-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Jose Cordova. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five separate complaints between January and April 2025, all marked as emergencies, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in each instance. Earlier in 2024, the building faced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests, mold, and plumbing issues, although HPD inspections found no violations.

The property has an open Class B housing maintenance code violation from September 2023 for mold in apartment 2B, along with several previously issued violations that have since been closed, including pest infestations, water leak issues, and various maintenance problems in apartments 2B and 2E. The building's history includes notable safety concerns, such as fire escape obstructions in 2018 that resulted in violations and penalties, though these were resolved. There have been recurring issues with the elevator system, as evidenced by complaints in 2019-2022, though inspections found no violations.

The property currently has two active DOB violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements from 2019 and 2021. While there were some concerns about rodent activity in the building, recent inspections (most recently in December 2023) have shown improvements, with the last inspection passing compliance. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2020, suggesting effective pest management practices.
