42 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
42 Skillman Street, a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns relating to rodent activity and unauthorized construction work. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the building has had recurring rodent issues, with the NYC Department of Health finding violations in May 2023 and additional rat activity documented in August 2023 and most recently in June 2024, though an initial inspection in 2024 resulted in a "Passed" status.
The building's maintenance history reveals active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from March 2022, when unauthorized electrical and plumbing work was discovered on the second floor, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $20,000, and concerns about excessive dust accumulation on staircases during construction work. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with all recent annual reports from 2021-2024 indicating zero infested units.
While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations noted in 2021 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, these appear to have been addressed. The building's older violations from 2018-2021, including failure to comply with Commissioner's Orders to file Certificates of Correction, have been resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing correction of defects. Regular inspections have been conducted, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2024 showing compliance, though the pattern of rodent activity remains a notable concern.
