257 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The three-story, two-family house at 257 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Christine Haugerud, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing food poisoning complaint filed in March 2024 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), which remains in progress as of July 2025.
In late 2023, the building faced multiple health-related issues, including a food establishment complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage in October (which was addressed), and a plumbing-related water supply complaint in November that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations. The property has undergone regular maintenance checks, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 both passing, though a compliance inspection in 2011 had noted rat activity.
A smoking violation was also reported and closed in June 2024. Recent improvements include an active permit issued in January 2024 for an unspecified alteration, suggesting proactive maintenance or upgrades to the building's infrastructure or systems.
