277 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 277 Devoe Street in East Williamsburg, owned by Marzena Potrapeluk, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1930. The building experienced two water supply-related emergency complaints in early 2019, with one resulting in violations that required HPD inspection.

The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2019 and 2024, including a significant open violation from January 2019 regarding inadequate cold water supply in apartment 3R, though many other violations from that period have since been resolved. These included issues with door security, carbon monoxide detectors, a public hall handrail, and fire egress ladder maintenance. More recent records show improved maintenance practices, with the building passing its rodent inspection in October 2024 and maintaining a clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations or require eradications in the annual reports from 2021 through 2024.

The property has consistently filed its bedbug reports on time, demonstrating compliance with HPD requirements. The most recent violation, issued in April 2024, pertains to the failure to file the annual bedbug report for the period, though it appears to be more administrative in nature. While the building had notable maintenance issues in 2019, the absence of similar recent complaints and successful pest management program implementation suggest improved building conditions, though prospective tenants should note the property's history of water supply and security-related violations from previous years.
