298 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 298 12th Street in South Slope, currently owned by Yuri Sheinman and constructed in 1925, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active pattern of violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with open violations dating from 2018 through 2023, suggesting a concerning lack of compliance with safety equipment maintenance requirements.
A significant heat and hot water emergency was reported in January 2022, though this was resolved quickly according to HPD records. More recently, rodent activity has been documented in late 2024, with inspections in both November and December 2024 showing evidence of rat presence in the building.
The building's history shows no recorded bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all annual bedbug reports (dating back to 2019) showing zero infested units. While this suggests good pest management practices, the recent rodent issues and ongoing violations related to low-pressure inspection filings represent significant maintenance challenges for the property. The building's documented safety violations are particularly noteworthy, with at least seven active DOB violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings spanning from 2018 to 2024, indicating potential neglect of required safety inspections and equipment maintenance.
