237 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

237 Carroll Street is a 5-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Carroll Gardens, owned by Todd Rose and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with at least three documented outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building between 2019 and 2024, most recently in December 2024. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been recorded, including a pattern of unfiled annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, though the most recent July 2025 filing shows no infestations or eradications during the previous period.

The building has remaining open violations from 2019 relating to defective fire escapes, missing guard rails, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the 3rd-floor apartment, as well as a hot water issue affecting that unit. Recent documentation shows active DOB violations for the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. This pattern of unfiled inspections suggests potential concerns with the building's mechanical systems.

There was also a construction-related complaint in June 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation. While the building had some rodent activity between 2016 and 2017, recent inspections indicate compliance with rodent control requirements. The permit history shows several plumbing-related permits issued in early 2024, suggesting some ongoing work or maintenance at the property.
