285 Powell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
285 Powell Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Brownsville, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Berta Berta. The building experienced a significant heat and hot water outage in November 2019, though these issues were reported to be resolved within a day.
Between 2020 and 2021, the property underwent multiple inspections revealing several safety violations, particularly in December 2020, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a problematic fire escape door lock, and issues with self-closing doors at the building entrance. During this period, the building was also found to have an illegal lock on the front gate and failed to properly maintain gas leak emergency procedures. More recent records show that the building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 onwards, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods.
The property was issued two permits in 2018 for plumbing and exterior work, which were properly documented and processed. While rodent inspections in 2014 indicated some compliance issues, these records are now significantly outdated. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2023 relate to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though no current violations appear to be affecting resident safety or comfort.
