204 Ellery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
204 Ellery Street is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 204 Ellery St LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints from tenants between January and April indicating systemic problems affecting entire building units.
There are also significant maintenance concerns documented, including open violations from late 2024 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2B, a mouse infestation in Apartment 4E, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 5C (including mold, plumbing problems, and damaged fixtures). Recent inspections (July 2025) have confirmed rat activity, continuing a troubling pattern of pest issues, though there were "passed" inspections in 2024 and 2023, suggesting some intermittent rodent control measures have been attempted. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple instances of inspection access issues, with authorities unable to inspect or verify conditions in several cases during 2025.
Major complaints have included challenges with paint/plaster conditions, plumbing problems, and appliance issues, particularly during the first half of 2025. Inspection records between 2022-2024 show no violations warranted for several complaints about building systems, including the boiler and illegal conversions, though these issues were still raised by tenants. The building's documented history demonstrates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, along with persistent pest control issues, though some improvements appeared to be made in recent years based on passing inspections in 2024-2025.
