- City records show 151 open HPD violations, 46 immediately hazardous (Class C) under 23 New Lots Avenue — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2018 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 385 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Replace or repair the self-closing doors that is missing or defective hinges at door….
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
240 Lott Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11212. The closest subway is New Lots Av (L) (6-minute walk), served by the 3 and L lines.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: January 2018 · Most recent: October 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
