205 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 27-unit, 3-story commercial altered Class A building at 205 Warren Street in Cobble Hill, owned by William Beecher, has a complex history since its 1887 construction. Most notably, there are several active violations as of 2024, including failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspections (six separate violations) and a recent Environmental Control Board violation related to non-compliance with a 2021 boiler room access information requirement, with associated fines. The building has experienced multiple safety inspections and service requests, including a chemical vapors/odors incident in 2019, boiler-related issues in 2021, and documentation of illegal activity in 2019 (though no violations were found upon inspection).

Health-related matters include rodent sightings in 2022 and 311 complaints, though both properties passed inspections, and the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infested units for the past five years (2019-2024). The property has undergone regular maintenance and inspection activities, including multiple permit issuances for various work between 2019 and 2024. Recent positive developments include passing rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023.

However, the building's current active violations related to external low pressure inspections and the boiler room access information requirement indicate ongoing compliance challenges. Historical data shows attention to safety inspections, including tenant safety inspections and compliance sweeps, with most complaints resulting in "No Violation Warranted" findings at the time of inspection. Multiple permits for emergency work have been issued consistently over recent years, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the 138-year-old structure.
