290 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
290 Devoe Street is a 3-story, 7-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in East Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Bill Lika. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident from January to February 2023 and again in November 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building.
A water leak was also reported and subsequently addressed in December 2023. More recently, the building has faced rodent-related challenges, with three rodent complaints filed in 2024 alone (April, December) and several inspections revealing ongoing rat activity, most recently in December 2024.
The building has multiple open violations related to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, including the need to file annual bedbug reports (as of April 2024) and various safety notice requirements from 2021 regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and housing information guides that remain unaddressed. These persistent issues suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, affecting both resident comfort and safety.
