25 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The two-story, six-unit residential building at 25 Joralemon Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Abigail Hooper and constructed in 1907, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly relating to rodent infestations and plumbing problems. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of rodent-related complaints, with the most recent being a rat sighting in April 2024. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2021, with bait application recorded in 2024.

Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements have been documented from 2021 through 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. The property has faced infrastructure challenges including plumbing issues, with emergency complaints about sewer and toilet problems in February 2021, affecting Apartment 2. Additionally, the building's external low-pressure inspection filings have become a significant concern, with multiple active violations issued between 2019 and 2023 for failure to file required inspections.

A 2022 Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation noted spalling plaster and water penetration issues in the third-floor corridor, though this appears to be referenced under a Department of Education violation. While some complaints have been resolved, including certain plumbing issues, the recurring nature of the rodent problems and the active status of multiple external inspection violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 was passed, indicating progress in pest management, though plant management and maintenance compliance remain areas of scrutiny.
