2276 Homecrest Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

2276 Homecrest Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1947 and currently owned by Xiao Fen Lin. The building has faced recurring rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported in 2025 alone (March-June), and inspections confirming rat activity as recently as July 2025. These persistent pest problems are the most significant current concern for the property.

The building has experienced several heat and hot water outages over the years, with emergency complaints filed in 2019 and 2020, though records indicate that these issues were resolved promptly. A broken window guard was reported as an emergency in November 2023, which was inspected but no violations were issued. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations over the years.

In 2019, apartment 1C was found to have several safety issues including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and there was a violation regarding excessively hot water temperatures. A more recent violation from September 2024 was issued for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, though this was later dismissed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows no recorded infestations or eradications, suggesting good management of this particular issue. While the building has faced numerous maintenance challenges, most issues have been addressed promptly, with the exception of the ongoing rodent problems which appear to be persistent as of mid-2025.
