254 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

254 Menahan Street is a three-unit, three-story New Law tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Katarzyna Naumowicz. The 1931 structure has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating and rodent control. In February 2023, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage that was reportedly resolved within 24 hours according to tenant reports.

The building has faced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections throughout 2023 and 2024 showing "Rat Activity" in early 2025 and recurring patterns of such findings, though most recent inspections (July 2025 and February 2025) have passed without issues. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infested units in recent submissions from 2022 to 2025. The building's initial bedbug violation from 2021 was addressed and subsequent inspections from 2023-2024 indicate consistent compliance with reporting requirements.

A notable safety concern was identified in February 2023 regarding self-closing doors at the roof entrance, which was classified as a Class C violation but was promptly addressed and closed. The most recent building permit on record was issued in January 2019 for unspecified work. While the property has shown efforts to address its maintenance issues, particularly through passing recent inspections, the recurring nature of some violations, particularly rodent activity, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest management.
