2313 Benson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2313 Benson Avenue is a 4-story, 27-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Bobby Ng. The Gravesend tenement has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2023 and 2025. The most recent complaints from March 2025 include slow water leaks and ceiling paint issues, with violations issued for the latter.

Earlier incidents also include heavy water flow issues (January 2024), water leaks (August 2023), and various unsanitary conditions including pest problems and mold. The building's history shows significant concerns in 2021, when violations were documented regarding heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building, along with multiple safety-related violations in apartment 1G that required attention to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heating systems. The Department of Buildings conducted several inspections between 2022 and 2023, including Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and Tenant Safety Inspections, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection.

A benchmarking report violation from 2019 was dismissed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no units reported as infested in the past five reporting periods. However, there were rodent compliance issues noted in 2018 inspections, suggesting historical pest management challenges. While many past violations have been addressed and closed, the recurrence of water-related issues and recent ceiling damage suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
