277 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
Located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, 277 Menahan Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Moshe Deutsch. The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most immediate concerns involving multiple plumbing and sewage incidents reported in June 2025, for which HPD was unable to complete inspections. A pattern of unsanitary conditions has emerged, particularly related to mold and sewage, with HPD issuing violations in May 2024 specifically noting approximately 15 square feet of mold at the east wall in Apartment 1L, and more recent emergency complaints regarding sewage issues in 2025.
The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity between 2023 and 2025, with consistent reports of rat presence despite bait applications, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 resulted in a pass. The building's history reflects significant infrastructure and safety concerns, including violations for missing smoke detectors, defective fire escapes, and door issues in 2024. Notable safety violations from 2024 include the absence of proper carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1L, and multiple fire-related concerns including a defective fire door in the basement.
In 2018, the property faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to work without permits and occupancy issues, particularly concerning a metal stair installation connecting the first floor to the cellar. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved issues, with HPD frequently unable to complete inspections due to lack of access. While the property has not reported any bedbug infestations in recent years, the recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident safety.
