429 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249
The 216-unit, 8-story residential building at 429 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Jennifer Ogman and completed in 2009, has experienced several recurring maintenance and health issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns centering around sewage problems and rodent activity. Most recently, in April 2025, the building had two emergency sewage complaints that required HPD intervention, though these were reportedly resolved. The building has been subject to multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, consistently showing evidence of rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 confirming ongoing rodent presence.
Between 2020 and 2024, the property underwent various repairs and maintenance actions, including the correction of ventilation, water leak, and wall issues noted in a cluster of complaints from November 2020, which resulted in violations being issued and subsequently addressed. The building's history includes several health-related interventions, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirming rodent activity in 2022-2023, and a daycare facility complaint in 2024. Various construction and safety compliance complaints filed between 2019-2024 were investigated by the Department of Buildings but were generally found to be unsubstantiated or resulted in no violations.
These complaints included concerns about construction practices, handicap access, and elevator issues, with all being closed without substantive findings. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings from 2019 to 2024 reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property was also found to be in compliance with Fire Escape safety requirements during a 2020 inspection.
