288 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
288 Devoe Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years, with documented rat activity noted during six inspections between January 2023 and November 2024, including a recent health department complaint in August 2023 that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections.
The property has a history of safety and maintenance concerns, particularly documented in an October 2016 inspection that revealed multiple violations including unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar boiler room, a defective fire escape ladder, and carbon monoxide detector issues. More recent inspections in 2024 confirmed the resolution of several of these former violations, including proper carbon monoxide detector placement and safety notices. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2025 (most recently filed in July 2025) indicating zero infested units.
While earlier violations were primarily focused on safety and code compliance, the most pressing current issue appears to be the ongoing rodent infestation, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024 confirming rat activity. The property has undergone various maintenance improvements over the years, as evidenced by the certification of several 2016 violations in 2024, including repair of electrical wiring, fire safety compliance, and the proper posting of safety notices in common areas. The building's age and history suggest it has experienced typical urban maintenance and safety challenges, though recent years show some progress in addressing historical violations even as new rodent issues emerged.
