297 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
297 1st Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Class A building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1991 and currently owned by Jody Rudin. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2024. Between September and October 2024, multiple service requests were filed regarding various maintenance concerns, including ventilation system problems, water leaks, pest issues, mold, painting/plaster concerns, and window frame defects, though HPD inspectors were frequently unable to complete their inspections.
In March 2024, multiple violations were documented specifically for apartment 3C, including issues with water leaks, plumbing, and electrical systems, resulting in violation notices that were marked as closed in April 2024. The building has a recurring history of elevator service problems, with multiple complaints about the single elevator device and lack of alternate service spanning from 2020 through 2025, with recent violations served in January 2025. There have also been significant structural concerns, including an Environmental Control Board violation from September 2022 regarding building wall maintenance.
A bedbug report filed in December 2024 indicated one infested unit that was subsequently treated. The building experienced a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2024, though systems were reported to have been restored. While the property has undergone various maintenance challenges, it has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015 to 2017, suggesting no persistent pest control issues.
