274 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, six-unit building at 274 Devoe Street in East Williamsburg, owned by Maria Stefaniak, has experienced some notable issues in recent years, most significantly regarding heat and hot water systems. In December 2023, the building experienced a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire structure, though these services were reportedly restored after HPD's investigation.

This incident marks the first documented heating system problem in recent history, occurring during the winter months when such issues can have the most significant impact on resident comfort. The building's pest control history appears relatively stable, with bedbug reports for the periods of 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 indicating zero infested units, and no eradication or re-infestation cases were reported.

Most recently, a rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting effective pest management practices are currently in place. While the heating system failure in December 2023 is the most pressing recent concern, the building's overall maintenance record shows no major recurring issues or patterns that would significantly impact resident quality of life, with the most recent heating incident being an isolated occurrence rather than part of a longer-term trend.
