248 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, five-unit building at 248 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Elsie Ortiz, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, multiple violations were documented in May-June 2025, including problems with electrical outlets/switches, doors, plumbing (basin/sink), and various general maintenance issues. Inspections in June 2025 indicated unresolved electrical issues, while several complaints from May 2025 resulted in violations requiring corrections, though some conditions were found not to violate housing laws.
The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, with an open pest-related complaint as of June 2025, though previous pest issues were addressed in late 2024. Significant violations were documented in late 2024 and 2024, particularly in apartment 1B, including mold issues, plumbing problems, and multiple safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Apartment 3A had documented lead paint hazards and plumbing issues requiring attention.
The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with evidence of rat activity recorded in April 2025 and previous instances in 2022, though inspections in 2023 passed. Bedbug reports from 2020-2025 indicate previous infestations had been resolved. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, multiple open violations and recent service requests suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges requiring attention.
