289 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
289 Monroe Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and now classified as a Class A multiple dwelling. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being recurring power-related problems, including a recent power outage in May 2025 and a heating/hot water failure in April 2024 affecting the entire building. Multiple service requests in late 2023 indicated problems with appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), heating systems, and pest-related issues, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for proper evaluation.
The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, with a significant water leak reported in April 2023. The property was subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022-2024, including issues with bedbug reporting compliance, building entrance door functionality, and several safety notice requirements related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures. The building's security systems were also flagged for having an illegally fastened double-cylinder lock on the basement entrance gate.
However, a positive aspect is that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted annually between 2019 and 2025. While the bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show zero infested units, the building experienced multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2024. The most recent inspection in 2025 confirmed the building's compliance with current rodent control standards.
