247 Kosciuszko Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

247 Kosciuszko Street is a 3-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Suajana Eastman. The building has a notable history of unresolved code violations, particularly concerning bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

In 2018, significant safety and habitability issues were documented in the third-floor apartment (3FL), including multiple violations related to fire safety concerns such as a defective fire egress system, a window to fire escape issue, and a window sash that was inappropriately secured. Additional 2018 violations in 3FL involved required repairs including addressing water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, painting requirements for bathroom walls, and repairs to window moldings.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent rodent control compliance, passing nine consecutive inspections from 2019 through 2025, including the most recent inspections in April 2025 and October 2024. While the recent rodent inspection results are encouraging, the ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations and the historical concerns from 2018 related to safety and maintenance of common areas and individual units suggest that there are still some unresolved property management issues that have persisted over multiple years.
