100 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 100 Starr Street in Bushwick, owned by Omar Pacheco and built in 2003, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most concerning are the multiple unsuccessful inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in 2025 for various problems including sewage issues, pavement concerns, window frame problems, mold, and water leaks, indicating potential challenges with access to the building for inspections.

In early 2025, there were also immediate emergency safety concerns related to the sprinkler system, though some subsequent inspections showed no violations. The building has active violations with the Department of Buildings for failure to file required annual low-pressure inspections from 2018 to 2023, and a Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2024 regarding mold in apartment 4B. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues across multiple years, including problems with self-closing doors, smoke detector compliance, and various unsanitary conditions.

Notably, there was a rodent activity concern in September 2023 which required baiting interventions throughout late 2023, though subsequent inspections in 2024-2025 showed passing results or no rat activity. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with no infestations recorded in the past several years, and all periods show zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest control protocols. Despite the identified issues, the building has demonstrated some proactive measures, as evidenced by multiple violation closures and regular reporting requirements being met, though the recent pattern of inspection access issues and active violations warrants attention.
