2475 East 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The six-story apartment building at 2475 East 11th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Clayton Johnson, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years since its construction in 1961 as a Class A building with 61 units. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent infestation issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failed compliance results, following earlier violations in 2024.

The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints during winter months, with emergency complaints in early 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2024, primarily affecting apartment 6H, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and flushing apparatus, along with a notable unsanitary condition involving pests in apartment 3D earlier that year. The property has ongoing structural and safety concerns, evidenced by multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding the facade, including an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding the facade maintenance and an unsafe notification from 2023.

Three sidewalk shed-related violations were issued in September 2024, and there are also questions about elevator service continuity based on past complaints. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues, with multiple instances of plumbing problems, door/window-related issues, and security concerns. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing no infestations since 2018 and has generally passed rodent inspections in previous years, the recent history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
