247 Stockholm Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 247 Stockholm Street in Bushwick, owned by Babu Moses, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most recently, in 2025, there has been confirmed rat activity, with multiple inspections showing this persistent problem throughout 2024-2025. The building's violation history shows active and unresolved issues, including a 2023 violation for failing to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection.

Earlier concerns included a period of heat and hot water loss affecting the entire building in February 2022, and a sewage leak complaint in February 2020. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received several notices of violation related to building maintenance code compliance. Notable issues include problems with self-closing doors at public hall and building entrance (2024), and lead-based paint hazard control non-compliance in Apartment 1R (2024). While the bedbug reports filed throughout 2023-2024 show no infestations, the building has consistently received violations for not filing annual bedbug reports in prior years (2021-2022).

The property has also undergone rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded in late 2023, though recent compliance inspections in early 2025 show some improvement, with only three out of seven recent inspections recording rat activity. Recent inspections have shown progress in some areas, with violations from earlier years being certified as corrected, including issues with free-standing radiators in public hall areas (2022), and building code violations related to self-closing doors. However, ongoing pest control efforts and the presence of active violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The building's history indicates regular inspection activity and responsiveness to many violations, though some issues, particularly regarding rodent control and documentation compliance, remain recurring concerns.
