286 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, ten-unit tenement building at 286 Warren Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Martin Baumrind, has been standing since 1900. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in late 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions including doors, windows, cabinets, walls, floors, and plumbing (particularly radiators).

Some of these complaints resulted in violations, though many inspections were unable to gain access to the premises. In November 2020, specific violations were recorded in Apartment 8 relating to bathroom door replacement and ceramic tile repairs, with other historical issues including roof leaks affecting both the kitchen and bathroom in this unit. The building's most recent health incident was a rodent sighting in September 2021, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was unable to access the property for inspection.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and all previously infested units successfully eradicated. Historical violations from 2007 included various maintenance issues in Apartment 8 and common areas, such as problematic floors, roof leaks, and the need for proper carbon monoxide detectors, though these were all certified as resolved by 2019. The building's maintenance history suggests there have been ongoing challenges with access for inspections and prompt resolution of various building system issues, though the absence of recent bedbug problems is notable.
