285 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
285 Bleecker Street is a three-story, six-unit tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by David Natanov. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2023-2024, with multiple complaints filed through 311 that required emergency responses. Of particular note, there were two heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 alone, and three in October 2024, with several instances where inspectors could not gain access to units for verification. The building also faced plumbing issues, as evidenced by a water supply complaint in December 2024.
Apartment 2R has specific violations including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a window counterbalance issue, and extremely hot water (over 130°F) documented in December 2024. The property has demonstrated ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, including two initial inspections in March and May 2025 showing rat activity. There were also sanitation concerns recorded in August 2023 regarding garbage/recycling storage, though these were ultimately closed without violations. The building's maintenance history shows periodic bedbug infestations between 2019-2022, with the most recent reports (2022-2025) showing no current infestations.
Previous records indicate a 2018 electrical violation for unpermitted work, which was resolved. Recent compliance inspections continue to show regulatory attention to rodent control, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building has maintained bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2025, though inspections and violations indicate ongoing concerns with pest management and basic building systems. The heat/hot water issues appear to be the most persistent problem affecting resident comfort, with the highest frequency of complaints.
