377 Argyle Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 377 Argyle Road in Flatbush, built in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2024 (October), there were multiple violations issued for problems including water leaks, wall issues, and door problems, particularly affecting apartment 3C, which had documented issues with water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, plastered surfaces, self-closing doors, and even a reported roach infestation. The building has also faced consistent water-related challenges, with similar complaints recorded in July 2023 involving heavy water flow and ceiling issues.

Other maintenance concerns include a garbage storage violation from May 2024, and various infrastructure and sanitary maintenance issues. The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections, including Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with one active complaint from June 2024 where the inspector was unable to gain access. A chiminey-related ECB violation was noted in January 2021 with a penalty imposed, though this was later resolved. Importantly, the building has shown a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no units reported as infested, and passed rodent inspections in September 2023 and June 2019.

The most recent batch of violations from October 2024 has resulted in multiple open violations as of now, including issues with the fire door and garbage receptacles, though these are in various stages of required correction and verification. The consistently recurring pattern of water-related issues, both in terms of leaks and moisture problems, along with the recent cluster of violations affecting apartment 3C, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance. However, the absence of bedbug complaints and successful rodent inspections indicate relative stability on those specific pest control fronts. The building's ownership, 377 Argyle LLC, has generally addressed violations as they arise, though the timeline for resolution has varied based on the nature of each issue and the requirements set by housing authorities.
