233 Stuyvesant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement at 233 Stuyvesant Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jennifer Perez and built in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has ongoing active violations for failure to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018-2023, and has recurring problems with various building systems including heating, water, and electrical infrastructure. Recent complaints in 2025 include multiple heat/hot water issues, which show inspection challenges with HPD not being able to gain access for verification.
The building has also faced significant problems with water leaks, electrical wiring, and safety systems such as smoke detectors and lighting. Of particular concern is the current open violation from December 2024 in Apartment 1A regarding defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door issues, and a pest infestation. Multiple emergency service requests related to water leaks, electrical problems, and safety concerns were filed and closed between 2024 and 2025. The property has a history of boiler-related issues, with complaints about defective/inoperative equipment in late 2024, though these were marked as "Oath Violation Served" as of January 2025.
While there has been no bedbug activity reported since 2019 and no recorded infestations in recent years, the building has shown recurrent problems with sanitary conditions and rodent activity, with the latest rat inspections in July and October 2024 indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The building's maintenance records demonstrate a pattern of difficulties in obtaining access for inspections and resolving violations, particularly concerning water leaks and electrical systems. Despite multiple permits being issued for various work between 2018-2019, the building continues to face systemic issues with basic services such as heat, water, and electrical systems, coupled with safety concerns regarding fire detection systems. The persistent pattern of violations, particularly regarding the external low pressure inspections and various safety systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance, though some individual complaints have been resolved through inspection processes.
