262 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 262 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Xi Huang and built in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2022, with two incidents in January and two in December, all of which were classified as emergency situations but were resolved with inspections that found no violations. The building also had plumbing/water supply issues in December 2022, which similarly required emergency response but resulted in no violations being issued.

In terms of safety and maintenance concerns, Apartment 2R was issued two Class C violations in December 2022 regarding window guards and self-closing doors, though these were certified as corrected by January 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting under the required NYC regulations from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. While there have been two instances of rat activity identified in 2021 and 2024 during rodent inspections, the most recent inspection in April 2025 showed no rat activity and passed inspection. The building has undergone necessary repairs and improvements as evidenced by permit issuance in March 2019 for some unspecified work.

Two complaints regarding possible illegal activities were made in 2019-2020 and 2020, but inspections found no violations. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the years, with only two instances of rat activity noted (May 2021 and April 2024). The building's bedbug management appears to be effectively maintained, with consistent reporting showing no infestations or eradications required in the past three years (2022-2025). The property's record indicates responsive management to maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and plumbing problems, though these issues appear to require repeated attention based on multiple service requests.
