235 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

235 Starr Street is a two-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Teodoro Torres and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The building has demonstrated a concerning pattern of maintenance violations over the past several years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property received multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024. However, the building's bedbug infestation history shows no actual cases of infestation during the reporting periods of 2021-2022 and 2019-2020, suggesting the violations may be primarily administrative in nature. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with mixed results.

Most recently, all inspections in 2025 (January and July) passed, indicating improvement in rodent management. However, there were periods of rat activity noted in earlier inspections, particularly in January 2024 and March 2023, though these were preceded and followed by successful inspections. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to inspections and reporting requirements, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations and periodic rodent activity indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
