209 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 209 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Rosa Naula and constructed in 1901, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. The most significant recent concerns include multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2018 and early 2019, though these issues appeared to be resolved when inspectors followed up. In July 2020, there was an electrical lighting problem that resulted in violations being issued.

The building faced various violations between 2018-2023, including failure to file annual bedbug reports (2021-2023) and a 2020 violation for missing smoke detector requirements. Two Class C violations remain open from 2020, concerning door self-closing mechanisms and window guard requirements in the 2nd floor apartment. The property has demonstrated improvements in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2023-2025) and successful rodent inspection passes in 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating improved pest management.

An electrical lighting issue was reported and resolved in 2020, and most other violations from 2020 have been closed. A 2024 complaint regarding an illegal curb cut was investigated and found to have no warranted violations. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the years, particularly with essential services like heat and hot water, the recent history suggests better compliance with reporting requirements and improvements in pest control and inspection pass rates.
