338 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

This two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 338 East 9th Street in Kensington, owned by Natalie York, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In early 2023, the property faced multiple safety concerns, including problems with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors, for which violations were issued.

Additionally, there were unsanitary conditions reported, including pest infestations and mold, with some of these complaints resulting in violations. The most substantial cluster of issues occurred in February 2023, primarily affecting apartment 1F, where violations were documented for lead paint compliance, window guard requirements, and both pest and mold infestations, along with multiple safety device failures (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). While these violations were officially closed by late February 2023, they indicate a period of notable maintenance challenges.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, as evidenced by six 311 service requests regarding pest issues between January 2023 and February 2023. However, it's worth noting that as of the most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025, there have been no documented instances of bedbug infestations in the building, and all recent reports (2019-2024) show zero infested or re-infested units. The property is currently 93 years old, having been constructed in 1930, and is subject to New York City's housing maintenance code requirements, which appear to have required significant attention during early 2023.
