42 Palmetto Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit building at 42 Palmetto Street in Bushwick, constructed in 1921 and currently owned by 42 Palmetto Holdings LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past decade. Most significantly, the property faced multiple complaints and a violation related to water drainage issues in 2020, with inspectors noting improper gutter connections that were not tied to the storm drain at the rear yard, resulting in a $250 penalty from the Environmental Control Board, though this violation has since been resolved.

The building underwent rodent inspections from 2014 through 2025, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passing results, though there was a period of concern in 2014 with both a failed initial inspection and subsequent bait applications. The property has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs and received consistently positive results in rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management.

Historical records show some concerns about maintenance in the rear yard area, with a violation in 2014 regarding refuse and rubbish accumulation that was certified as corrected in 2023. While there were several instances in 2020 where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate complaints, particularly regarding plumbing issues, these cases were eventually resolved. The combined records suggest that while there have been periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding drainage in 2020, most issues have been addressed and the building currently maintains a stable operating condition.
