404 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 404 Henry Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Pedro Tavarez, has experienced several recurring maintenance and pest control issues since 2021. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple complaints and recent baiting activity occurring throughout 2024, including two complaints in August 2024 and violations recorded in 2024-2023 requiring bedbug reporting compliance.

The building has documented water leak issues, with three separate complaints in 2021-2022, though some were not accessible for inspection. A significant cluster of violations relates to the building's sidewalk shed/scaffold, with multiple inspections in 2025 recording inadequate maintenance, safety concerns including rotten wooden mudsills, lack of proper illumination, and various structural deficiencies, resulting in active ECB violations with penalties totaling $16,000.

The fourth-floor apartment appears to have experienced particular maintenance challenges, with multiple violations recorded in 2021 relating to roof leaks affecting ceilings in multiple rooms, window issues, and a documented mice infestation requiring remediation. The building's exterior has also been subject to scrutiny, with violations recorded in 2021 for wall maintenance issues including deteriorating bricks and stucco, though some ECB violations from 2022-2024 appear to have been resolved. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, it's worth noting that many service requests have been closed and some violations have been addressed through inspections and corrective actions, including a passed rodent compliance inspection in December 2024.
