2304 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2304 Newkirk Avenue is a 4-story, 29-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Thomas Forde. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025, with particular concerns around pest infestations, water issues, and building systems. Most notably, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests between March and June 2025, with violations issued that require owner remediation.

The building has also faced challenges with its heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between February and March 2025, though HPD inspections did not find violations in some cases. More recent issues have emerged with the intercom system in June 2025, which resulted in violations needing correction. The property has an established history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing both rat activity and compliance failures, though recent inspections have passed. Significant violations were recorded in late 2024 regarding apartment 1B, including issues with plaster surfaces, floor conditions, and an infestation of mice, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected in early 2025.

Apartment 2D had water-related issues documented in December 2024, requiring repairs to address leaks in multiple locations. Between 2022 and 2025, the building reported minimal bedbug activity, with only one unit affected and subsequently eradicated in June 2025. The building's maintenance history also includes a violation in 2021 for failing to file an energy use benchmarking report, though this was dismissed following an approved challenge. The property demonstrated some compliance with housing maintenance codes, though recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
