238 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
238 Degraw Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Carroll Gardens, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Nickolas Varipapa. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly in relation to construction activity in 2024, which included multiple safety violations and stop-work orders. Between April and December 2024, there were five significant construction-related complaints, including unsafe conditions, unauthorized excavation work, and concerns about undermining adjacent buildings.
Two Environmental Control Board violations from December 2024 specifically addressed issues with cold form steel installation and the absence of guard rails at first-floor windows, resulting in penalties totaling $7,500. The building has also faced recurring pest management challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 indicate failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though a 2022 filing showed no infestations during the reporting period.
More recently, rodent activity has been a concern, with a rat sighting reported in April 2025 and follow-up inspections revealing both rat activity and, in subsequent inspections, compliance with health regulations. The property's construction history is marked by various stop-work orders and compliance issues, though most of these have been resolved, including two notable stop-work orders from May 2024 that were fully rescinded. The building's environmental inspection record shows a pattern of construction-related violations in 2024, with multiple fines imposed, though these have since been resolved.
