29 Ingraham Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 3-story, 6-unit building at 29 Ingraham Street in East Williamsburg, built in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2022. Between August and December 2022, multiple violations were recorded related to pest infestations, particularly involving mice and rats, with one violation specifically noting rat activity in apartment 1R.

During the same period, the building experienced various maintenance issues including problems with heat and hot water systems, intercom/buzzer system malfunctions, and appliance-related complaints, though inspections generally did not result in formal violations. Notable violations from December 2022 involved self-closing door issues at the building's front entrance and vestibule, while August 2022 inspections revealed problems with a lockset at the building entrance, as well as maintenance issues including broken plaster and paint surfaces in apartment 1R. More recently, there are two active violations as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2019 and 2021.

However, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2023. Rodent inspections show a mixed history, with passed inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2016, but also instances of rat activity reported in 2010 and 2015. While many issues have been addressed and closed through appropriate channels, including multiple HPD inspections and violations being marked as closed, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance attention is required, particularly regarding building systems and security features.
