249 Front Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-family, three-story tenement at 249 Front Street in Vinegar Hill, built in 1847 and currently owned by Jose Amaya, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with particular attention required to Apartment 2. Between January 2023 and the current date, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, primarily affecting Apartment 2, including problems with door frames, flooring, and plaster surfaces.

Notably, there are two open Class A violations from March and April 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, and a Class C violation from January 2023 concerning defective self-closing doors. The building has a history of paint and plaster issues, as evidenced by 311 Service Requests in December 2022 (walls) and April 2025 (door/frame), though no violations were issued following these complaints.

A comprehensive rodent infestation response occurred in 2018, with multiple baiting actions documented, suggesting significant pest control efforts were needed at that time. However, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating improved conditions in this regard. While the building has some ongoing maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance and the condition of Apartment 2, recent rodent inspections show satisfactory results, and the most recent 311 complaints were resolved without violations.
