287 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 287 Bleecker Street in Bushwick, owned by David Eidlisz and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around pest control and building safety. The building has documented multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests, with the most recent complaints filed in January 2025 and June 2023, though inspections were unable to gain access to assess the situation.

Notably, there are open lead paint violations as of August 2023 in apartments 2L and 3R, along with compliance issues in apartment 1L related to lead paint hazard control requirements. The building has also faced periodic heat and hot water issues, with a complete outage reported in February 2023, and inspections revealing rat activity in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, though the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed. Historical records show persistent maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues in 2020 affecting both the bathtub/shower and toilet facilities, and safety concerns such as a broken/missing window guard reported in June 2023.

The building's regulatory history includes several Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues during 2019-2022, with at least one violation resulting in a $625 penalty related to the improper conversion of apartment 1L into two SROs. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting from 2019-2024, with no infestations reported in the past six reporting periods. While the property has demonstrated some compliance with pest control measures, as evidenced by passed inspections, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life.
