277 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

277 Quincy Street is a 4-story, 17-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Judah Vorchheimer, situated in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints and violations focused primarily on water-related problems. Between January and June 2025, there were at least three documented water leaks (two classified as "slow leaks" and one as "heavy flow"), with violations issued in March and May 2025 that required owner remediation.

Additional concerns have included recurring heat and hot water issues, unsanitary conditions (mold), and problems with flooring. Most recently, in June 2025, there were emergency service requests for water leaks and ceiling paint/plaster issues, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has a history of violations from late 2024 that remain pertinent as of July 2025, particularly in apartment 11, where issues were documented regarding window guards, bathtub surface, and heating system access.

An inspection from December 2024 revealed several violations requiring attention, including problems with the heating system, water leaks, and ceiling conditions in apartment 11, as well as encumbrances in the first-floor public hall. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, with no reported cases. Rodent inspections show generally good results, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 passing, though a rat activity report was recorded in March 2025.
