265 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement at 265 Marion Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Pincus Schwimmer, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints including problems with sinks and water leaks, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in these cases. The building has shown some concerning patterns regarding rodent issues, with rat activity reported in initial inspections in early 2025 and mid-2024, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed.

In 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartment 1L, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), various required repairs to walls, ceilings, and doors, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by February 2024. A boiler-related incident from October 2021 resulted in a finding of defects including corroded burners due to a flooded basement, with a penalty imposed, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's systems and maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, particularly in plumbing infrastructure and pest control.

While recent rodent inspections have passed, the building experienced multiple plumbing complaints in early 2025. On a positive note, the property has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs according to the official reporting requirements since 2021. The property has undergone various inspections through HPD and DOHMH, with most violations being addressed, though the inability to complete some recent inspections raises questions about current conditions. The most recent housing maintenance code violations regarding bedbug reporting in April 2024 indicate compliance with this requirement.
