575 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 575 Warren Street in Gowanus, owned by Christiana Omojola, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control challenges since at least 2018. The building has persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported through 311 complaints between 2019 and 2022, and a significant number of rodent inspections showing regular bait applications and documented rat activity.

More recently, there are open Class A violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. In 2019, the property faced several serious maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 3R, including mold problems in the bathroom, mice infestation, and defective bathroom tile grout. A heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported in October 2019, though it was resolved shortly thereafter.

The building's maintenance record shows some improvement over time, with most violations from 2019 being addressed or closed, including a July 2019 violation related to household items blocking a fourth-story hallway. Regular rodent inspections and treatments have been conducted, as evidenced by multiple bait applications throughout 2022 and the requirement for annual bedbug reporting compliance. While many older violations have been resolved, the most pressing current issues appear to be the open bedbug report violation and the building's ongoing struggle with rodent control, as indicated by the documented rat activity and bait applications in recent years.
