223 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
223 Devoe Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in East Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by James Pappas. The property has a concerning history of rodent-related issues, with the most recent reports in October 2024 indicating both rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, following similar patterns observed in previous years (2021, 2023).
A September 2024 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was investigated by HPD, though inspectors found no housing law violations at that time. More critically, the building has multiple active violations related to its external low pressure inspection filings, with documentation showing non-compliance for the years 2018 through 2023, including a recently issued September 2024 violation.
This pattern of overlooked annual maintenance requirements is notable, as it follows a similar historical citation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. While the building has passed some health inspections (notably in early 2021), the repeated nature of the rodent complaints and the accumulation of unaddressed inspection filing violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
