249 Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
249 Ryerson Street is a 6-story, 45-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Christopher Gavlick, located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in March 2025 that was resolved within three days. Other notable recent issues include a ventilation system complaint (2023-2024), an electric/gas range problem (2023), and water supply plumbing issues (2023), all of which were addressed and closed without violations.
The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water issues, including a previous emergency complaint for the entire building in 2019, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification at that time. The property has had recurring elevator-related violations between 2018 and 2022, which were eventually resolved, and there is currently one active DOB violation from 2020. The building's pest management record shows no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report (June 2025) showing zero infested units.
However, there was a rodent inspection in February 2025 that indicated rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection in March 2025 passed. Notably, the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing zero infestations since at least 2021, suggesting effective pest management. The property has also had four consecutive years (2021-2025) of successful rodent control inspections, though the February 2025 inspection indicated rat activity.
