257 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit brownstone at 257 Stockholm Street in Bushwick, owned by Rosario German, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in its first-floor apartment (1R). Most notably, between late 2023 and 2024, the building faced multiple violations related to mold, water leaks, and door/window problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing citations for conditions requiring attention. Apartment 1R has been consistently identified as needing various repairs, including issues with self-closing doors, window replacements, and mold remediation, particularly on the south wall of the kitchen.

The building's common areas have also required attention, with violations noted for broken vinyl tiles in the public hall. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing some instances of rat activity, particularly in early 2024. Recent inspections in 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvements in this area.

The building's lead paint compliance is currently under investigation, with multiple open violations from December 2023 requiring correction of peeling paint and identification of hazardous conditions. While the building had previously reported no bedbug infestations in its 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 reporting periods, the property has had various maintenance challenges that suggest ongoing attention to building systems and resident comfort is necessary. The most recent inspection data indicates some progress in maintaining the property, with passed inspections in early 2025, though several open violations remain on record requiring resolution.
