301 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

301 Sheffield Avenue is a three-story residential building with three units, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Bamba Vassamouka. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and health issues over the past decade, with the most recent significant concern being a rodent sighting in October 2023, though health inspectors were unable to access the property for proper evaluation. The building has multiple open violations related to pest control, with records indicating bedbug reporting requirements that remain unmet as of 2024.

In October 2021, the second-floor apartment (Unit 2) was found to have several concerning conditions including a rodent and roach infestation, multiple safety system deficiencies (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), problematic locks, and damaged bathroom ceiling plaster requiring repair. The building's pest control history shows a pattern of challenges, with failed rodent inspections in 2015 and 2016, though earlier inspections in 2011 and 2012 had passed. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, particularly between 2021-2024.

Specific building maintenance issues documented in October 2021 included problems with the refrigerator and cabinets, along with unsanitary conditions. While some of these violations were addressed and closed, several current open violations from 2021 through 2024 remain, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's regulatory history indicates both interior maintenance issues and health-related concerns, particularly regarding pest control and safety device compliance, requiring continued attention to these persistent problems.
