269 Rochester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
At 269 Rochester Avenue in Crown Heights, the 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement built in 1915 has faced several recurring maintenance challenges throughout 2025. Most notably, there have been ongoing issues with sanitation, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and housing violations in May 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. The building has experienced persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 confirming the presence of rats, though it did achieve a "Passed" inspection in January 2023.
A cluster of complaints in early 2025 pointed to various maintenance issues, including water leaks, problems with windows, plumbing concerns, and historical heating system access violations. The property has documented violations related to building systems that suggest maintenance challenges. In December 2024, violations were issued concerning water leaks, fire retardant material, and cleanliness of public hall floors.
More serious concerns were noted in 2022 regarding the boiler system, with violations for inadequate combustion air, a leaking condensate pump, and a corroded hot water storage tank, though many of these were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's heating system has been a recurring issue, with documented problems providing adequate heat and hot water to specific units in late 2024. While there have been various maintenance concerns, it's worth noting that the building has maintained consistent bedbug-free status across multiple annual reports from 2019 through 2024, with no documented infestations despite the numerous other maintenance issues.
