266 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 266 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are multiple open Housing Maintenance Code Violations as of April 2024 related to building safety and maintenance, including requirements for annual bedbug reports, proper signage for registration numbers, and inspection certificate displays.
There are also concerning deficiencies regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements, with violations indicating failure to provide proper documentation and notifications as required by Local Law 1 of 2004. Recent rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing continued rodent issues.
The building has a documented history of safety concerns, including a broken window guard reported in January 2024 (which remains an open violation as of April 2024), and various door-related issues such as malfunctioning self-closing doors at the building entrance and vestibule noted in January 2024. Previous complaints have included unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage (2022-2023), and there was a rat sighting in 2021 that prompted a Health Department inspection. While some violations have been resolved, including certain door repair issues and a specific lead paint violation in apartment 3R, the persistence of rodent problems and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
