342 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

342 East 9th Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Yaron Madmon. The property has persistent and unresolved housing maintenance code violations, with the most recent being an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, marking the fifth consecutive year this violation has occurred.

The building has a history of significant safety-related violations, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 1B, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, gas supply to kitchen fixtures, door self-closing mechanisms, and bathroom bathtub conditions. The property faced serious gas-related safety concerns in early 2019, including unauthorized gas piping installation and HVAC unit work in the cellar, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations with substantial penalties totaling $7,500. Additional ECB violations regarding an unauthorized curb cut were issued in 2020, though this only carries a $500 penalty.

The building's recent history includes a curb cut/driveway complaint from March 2025 that resulted in an Oath violation, and previous curb cut complaints from 2019 that were similarly addressed. While some violations from 2019 regarding plumbing work and a gas utility referral were resolved, the most pressing issues remain the ongoing bedbug report violation as of 2024 and the historical pattern of gas-related safety concerns from 2019. The property has maintained an active status for several ECB violations, indicating unresolved compliance issues, though one violation from May 2019 was dismissed by the ECB.
