251 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 251 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Ivone Cedeno, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its tenure. Most notably, the building has accumulated multiple open violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, with records showing these violations dating from 2021 through 2024.

The property has also had two worrisome rodent-related incidents in 2025 and 2022, though recent inspections (April 2025, March 2024, February 2023) have successfully passed for rodent activity. A plumbing water supply issue was reported and promptly addressed in August 2022, demonstrating some responsiveness to maintenance concerns. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed pattern, with rat activity reported in 2019 and 2022, but consistently passing inspections during subsequent years.

The most recent complaint, filed in April 2025 regarding a rat sighting, was closed following referral to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though it is notable that this was only the second rodent complaint within the past five years. The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, with only two instances of rat activity reported in the past decade, and has shown responsiveness to immediate plumbing emergencies. While the open violations for bedbug reporting requirements represent an ongoing compliance issue, the building's relatively recent history of passing rodent inspections suggests some level of maintenance diligence, particularly considering the challenges typically faced in urban environments.
