257 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
257 Quincy Street is a 4-story, 21-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Richard Rosan. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being ongoing water leak problems documented through multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025, including violations involving slow leaks affecting ceilings and walls.
The building has also faced issues with interior surfaces, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations related to paint/plaster damage, particularly in the bathroom of apartment 3A, which was cited for both water leak and plaster issues in late 2024. Safety concerns have been documented regarding the building's electrical systems, with multiple complaints about defective/exposed wiring in 2022, though these issues appeared to be addressed through compliance actions. The property has undergone several inspections for basic habitability requirements, passing rodent inspections in March 2025 and October 2024, though there were documented rat activity concerns in early 2024.
Recent maintenance history shows a mixed pattern of responses to violations, with some issues being promptly addressed while others, particularly those involving water leaks and plaster damage, have persisted over time. The building's boiler system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about defects and the need for permits between 2022-2024, though recent Local Law compliance inspections in 2023-2024 indicated no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building has maintained a relatively stable record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three filing periods from 2022-2024.
