50 Broome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 50 Broome Street in Greenpoint, owned by Helen Jaskiel and constructed in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2024. The property faced multiple window-related problems in 2022, with two emergency complaints regarding window frames, one resulting in violations, and specific issues in apartment 2L including broken window locks, defective lower sash counter balances, and problems with fire escape windows.

A notable pest control issue emerged in July 2022 with a roach infestation in apartment 2L, while other violations included blocked public hallways on the third story and requirements for proper gas leak notice postings and housing information guide notices. More recent inspections and filings indicate some improvement in pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 filing periods, though the building's bedbug report from 2024-2025 was not yet completed as of the current date.

However, concerns about rodent presence have emerged as a significant issue, with rat activity recorded in inspections conducted in March and April 2025, following a previous compliance pass in March 2023. The building's maintenance records suggest ongoing attention to window safety and pest management, with all previously documented violations having been closed through appropriate remediation, though the most recent rodent inspections indicate persistent challenges that warrant attention.
