98 Ellery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

98 Ellery Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently owned by Felicia Colon. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

More concerning is the presence of several open violations in apartment 3A as of November 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, pest infestation (mice), a broken refrigerator door gasket, and an illegal double cylinder lock. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various maintenance issues since 2024, with multiple complaints about plumbing, flooring, and appliance problems. The property has passed recent rodent inspections in July 2024 and January 2023, though there was documented rat activity in December 2022.

Interestingly, the building has consistently reported zero cases of bedbug infestations in its annual filings from 2019 through 2025, covering multiple reporting periods. While many complaints and violations have been addressed through inspections and repairs, as indicated by their "closed" status, the persistent nature of some recent heat and safety-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in the building. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from November 2024 remain open, suggesting these issues are still awaiting resolution by the property owner.
