282 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 7-story, 28-unit condominium building at 282 Wallabout Street in Williamsburg, owned by Simon Eisenfeld, has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues since its construction in 2003. Most notably, between 2022-2023, there were multiple violations related to fire safety, including disabled sprinkler heads, defective fire doors, and encumbrances blocking emergency egress in various stairwells.

These violations occurred on multiple floors, including the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and roof bulkhead areas, though all were subsequently closed after required corrections were made. The building also faces active Environmental Control Board violations from December 2022 regarding failure to submit required Cycle 9A reports of critical examination of exterior walls, with a penalty of $6,250 for each violation. Additionally, there was a complaint about work without a permit in January 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Recent performance metrics are somewhat more positive, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and only one failed rodent inspection noted in September 2019, though specific reasons for the failure were not recorded. The building's most recent property records show significant regulatory scrutiny of fire safety systems and exterior maintenance compliance, though the absence of recent violations since mid-2023 suggests improved attention to maintenance standards. While the building's fire safety systems (e.g., sprinkler heads, fire doors) have been subject to recurring violations over multiple years, these issues have generally been addressed when cited.
