133 Taaffe Place, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The four-story, four-unit residential building at 133 Taaffe Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Cheskey Schwimmer, has been in operation since 2014 and has experienced recurring issues with maintaining proper documentation and compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Most notably, there have been four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open.

The building has also faced challenges regarding public safety and maintenance, including an open violation from August 2023 requiring the removal of household items from the public hall stairs on the fourth story, and multiple violations from 2019 concerning the posting of various required notices, including those related to carbon monoxide detectors and housing information guides. Despite these ongoing compliance issues, the property has successfully passed rodent inspections conducted in July 2024 and October 2022, along with multiple initial inspections in 2014, demonstrating generally effective pest management.

However, there was one failed rodent inspection recorded in November 2010 for "Other Reasons," indicating some historical challenges with maintenance. The building's most recent inspection history suggests that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, particularly those related to public safety, there remains a pattern of open violations primarily related to documentation and notice requirements that have persisted over multiple years.
