379 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

379 Kings Highway is a 31-unit, 6-story Class A residential building located in Gravesend, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Brian Reyes. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat/hot water and water supply problems throughout 2022, particularly notable in spring to autumn, with multiple emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) showing both apartment-specific and building-wide concerns. While some individual complaints were resolved, many others were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building recorded violations in 2022, including one related to an emergency repair of self-closing doors leading to fire stairs on the 5th story, though this was certified as corrected by March 2022. Recent documentation shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations recorded in the past three years (2020-2024). The Department of Buildings (DOB) records indicate an active violation as of December 2024 regarding the failure to display the building's energy efficiency score and grade, though prior elevator-related violations from 2019 and 2020 were resolved.

Other notable complaints include issues with building lighting in late 2022 and an illegal vent/exhaust complaint in November 2022, both of which were closed without findings of violations. Despite the building's significant infrastructure issues in 2022, particularly concerning basic services like heat and water, the more recent complaint history shows no further major recurring issues, though the energy efficiency violation remains active. The building has consistently filed accurate bedbug reports showing zero infestations since 2019, suggesting improved maintenance in this area.
