279 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
279 Henry Street is a four-story, ten-unit residential building in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1841 and currently owned by Nishat Doshi. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being the outstanding violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2024 and multiple open violations from a July 2021 inspection regarding safety notices that need to be posted, including those for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, building floor numbers, and the superintendent's contact information.
The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, with three separate unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in June 2021, though only one of these resulted in violations being issued. Other notable incidents include a building-wide heat and hot water outage and an electrical power outage in February 2021, as well as various maintenance issues in late 2020 involving windows, flooring, plumbing, and wall conditions, none of which resulted in violations.
The building's management has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing initial inspections in 2023, 2015, and 2013. While most recent housing maintenance code violations relate to administrative requirements rather than direct habitability issues, the ongoing bedbug reporting violation and multiple open safety notice violations dating back to 2021 are of particular note. The building's age and location in Brooklyn Heights, combined with its history of various maintenance issues, suggest a property that requires careful monitoring of management's response to both routine maintenance needs and regulatory compliance requirements.
