240 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-unit brownstone at 240 Adelphi Street in Fort Greene, built in 1867 and currently owned by Magdalene Bowen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to basic utilities. Most notably, there were simultaneous heat and hot water problems reported in January 2025, for which violations were issued.
In December 2024, the building experienced multiple power outage incidents requiring immediate emergency attention, and in April 2024, there were issues with window frame maintenance and various building access systems including the mailbox and intercom, though these were ultimately resolved without violations. The building has a concerning pattern of utility-related problems, with similar heat and water issues documented in December 2022. Recent violations that have been certified as corrected include inadequate public hallway lighting (December 2024) and defective entrance doors (September 2024).
There is currently one open violation from September 2024 regarding improper plumbing fixtures in the cellar, classified as a B violation. A potentially serious concern is an ongoing complaint about an unauthorized conversion of the building filed in September 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all three of the most recent annual reports (2022, 2023, and 2024) showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation in any units.
