245 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
245 Devoe Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in East Williamsburg and owned by Angeline Rugero. The century-old property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly concerning heating systems and pest control. Most notably, there have been multiple documented rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing ongoing rat activity, and several inspections throughout 2024 and 2023 consistently indicating rodent presence.
The building has also had three emergency heating/hot water complaints in 2020-2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though records indicate heat and hot water were eventually restored in each case. A significant violation from 2020 remains open regarding paint condition in Apartment 3, specifically requiring the application of light-colored paint to ceilings and walls. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2021 to present, with no reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any units according to the annual reports filed through 2024.
Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued in 2021-2023, though these appear to have been addressed in subsequent filings. The building's most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 indicates no infested units. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, the regularity of rodent activity and historical heating system problems have been the most persistent challenges affecting building residents.
