224 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211

224 Broadway is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Williamsburg and built in 1920, currently owned by Ramon Abreu. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent significant incident being a heavy water leak reported in September 2022 and closed in May 2023, which was inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations issued.

In 2018, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, along with problems related to an electric/gas range, though HPD faced difficulties in gaining access to inspect the affected units. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts needed during this period. The property has been subject to two notable violations: one in 2018 regarding defective fire escape equipment that was marked as Class C (more severe) and another in 2018 concerning a missing shoe on the fire escape ladder that remains open.

Compliance inspections between 2021 and 2024 focused on bedbug reporting requirements, with one violation noted in 2024. Both bedbug and rodent inspections have resulted in passing grades, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2024 showing no issues. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018, it appears to have stabilized in recent years with no major recurring issues and an up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance system showing no current infestation problems.
