200 Gelston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

200 Gelston Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Steven Muller. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly evident from multiple service requests and violations over recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple emergency claims of unsanitary conditions including mold, pest infestations, and water leaks, along with problems concerning window frames and ceiling paint/plaster.

These recent issues have resulted in violations being issued, requiring the owner to correct the conditions within specified time frames. Earlier in 2025, there were also concerns regarding heat/hot water across the entire building, though inspections did not reveal violations. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with a significant leak emergency reported in December 2024, and prior violations from June 2022 indicating water leaks affecting multiple areas including Bathroom, Hallway, and Kitchenette in Apartment B2.

Additional concerns identified through inspections include lead-based paint hazards and mold issues within Apartment B2, though these violations were certified as corrected by August 2022. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units during these annual reporting periods. While some 311 service requests have been found to not violate housing laws (such as an appliance issue in April 2025), the pattern of recent violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
