204 Mother Gaston Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11233

204 Mother Gaston Boulevard is a 4-story, 13-unit New Law tenement building in Brownsville, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Rivka Fischman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 regarding both unsanitary conditions involving pests and water supply problems. Throughout 2024, recurring water supply issues were documented, along with electrical wiring concerns, ceiling problems, and multiple heat/hot water complaints that affected either individual units or the entire building.

The building underwent an inspection in April 2024 which revealed several safety concerns, including a non-functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, as well as accessibility issues with fire escapes and problems with building entrance door closers. Additional violations from late 2023 show open issues related to leaks, ceiling damage, and pest infestations (specifically roaches) in the fourth-floor apartment. The building's recent history shows an active pest management situation, with six bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024, including one from 2024 noting 12 eradicated units.

Multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with many complaints resulting in inspection attempts where access was not granted, leading to closed cases without resolution. While some violations have been certified as corrected, including the fire safety issues addressed in May 2024, others remain open or were closed without definitive resolution, particularly the December 2023 violations concerning the fourth-floor apartment's ceiling, water leaks, and pest issues. The building has also faced food establishment inspection issues in late 2024, though details of these violations are not specified in the records.
