293 Stuyvesant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, eight-unit building at 293 Stuyvesant Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Genesis Herrera, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020. Most recently, the property underwent successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, following significant rodent-related complaints in late 2022. The building faced recurring heating and hot water issues in December 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants about building-wide deficiencies.

These complaints were subsequently closed, though one inspection in November 2022 noted the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for verification. The building has also had three open housing maintenance code violations as of 2023-2024, including issues with an entrance door's plexi-glass at the vestibule, and previous problems in 2020 relating to a refrigerator door gasket, an infestation of mice, and various maintenance needs in apartments 2L and 4R. The property has demonstrated some positive maintenance trends recently, with consistent reporting of no bedbug infestations between 2021-2025, though there was an instance in 2020 involving four units that were subsequently eradicated.

A plumbing issue related to water supply was reported and closed in August 2022, and a garbage/recycling storage concern was noted in July 2022. Historical data from 2010-2011 indicates past rat activity that was addressed with bait application at that time. The building's age (built in 1898) and status as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" property suggest it has undergone various transformations over its lifetime, now containing eight residential units. While recent inspections show improvements in pest management, the building's history indicates periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control in earlier years.
