297 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit building at 297 President Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by 297 President LLC, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to its ongoing pest management challenges. Most notably, the building has accumulated four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements.

Additionally, rodent-related complaints have persisted, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documenting violations in 2021 and failed compliance inspections in 2022 and 2021 showing evidence of rat activity. Multiple 311 complaints between 2021-2022 regarding illegal conversion and fencing issues were filed, though inspections did not warrant violations at those times. The building's more recent history shows continuing violations that warrant attention, including two active Department of Buildings violations issued in 2025 and 2022, though specific details about these violations are not provided in the data.

A notable Environmental Control Board violation from June 2022 was resolved, concerning the failure to provide approved construction documents at the job site during inspection, though this violation initially carried no imposed penalty. The property has undergone multiple inspections under various complaint categories including construction-related issues, though most inspections resulted in no violations being found at that time. The pattern ofbedbug report violations, combined with recurring rodent-related issues, suggests persistent challenges with building maintenance and pest control that have not been adequately addressed over multiple years.
