234 Moffat Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 234 Moffat Street in Bushwick, owned by Harry Bodansky, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a series of heating and hot water system problems documented between December 2020 and January 2021, with emergency violations issued regarding inadequate heat in apartment 1R, particularly concerning safety systems including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In September 2021, multiple violations were recorded including fire hazard concerns that required the immediate provision of fire guards, issues with a concrete retaining wall, and problems with refuse accumulation in the rear yard.

The building has had ongoing pest management challenges, with a 311 complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests in August 2021, though more recent records show no reported infestations, with bedbug reports from 2022 onwards indicating zero infested units. The property is currently facing two active violations (as of June 2023) related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020. While there have been several rodent inspections showing varying results between 2012 and 2025, the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations since at least 2019. The Department of Buildings received two construction-related complaints in September 2021, one of which resulted in a vacate order that was fully rescinded. Recent records indicate improved maintenance compliance, with inspections showing passing results for rodent control and no recorded infestations in recent years, though the outstanding pressure inspection violations remain pending resolution.
