The 4-story, 8-unit building at 252 Wyckoff Street in Gowanus, owned by Laura Hobgood, has a significant history of maintenance issues dating back to 1999, with recurring problems in apartment 3L. The most recent violation occurred in June 2024, involving a missing smoke detector in apartment 2L, though this was certified as corrected within three weeks.
The building is currently facing an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report. 252 Wyckoff Street has demonstrated consistent pest management success, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025), though there was a rat activity incident noted in February 2025, followed by a compliance inspection in March 2025 that passed.
Between 1999 and 2006, various violations were documented involving water leaks, vermin, window repairs, door issues, and lighting deficiencies, all of which were eventually closed.
