283 Jerome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

Located in East New York, 283 Jerome Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Gabriel Eisen. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of pest-related complaints in July 2022, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with one case showing correction of conditions while the others resulted in no violations being issued. Prior to this, in September 2019, there were safety concerns with a broken or missing window guard, though no violations were found upon inspection.

More serious issues appear to persist, as there are currently two open violations related to lead-based paint management from late 2019: one concerning the failure to notify occupants of hazards, and another regarding the failure to provide required records related to lead-based paint matters. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no documented cases between 2019 and 2024. Historical records show that the building had several administrative violations in 1986 regarding safety signage and building registration requirements, all of which were subsequently addressed.

These included violations related to smoke detector requirements, heating system access, building registration, and floor numbering. A significant structural issue was noted in 1986 regarding an unauthorized alteration of a suspended ceiling installation at the cellar front. However, more recent inspections from 2009 and 2012 show successful rodent control compliance. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over time, the absence of recent bedbug reports and successful rodent inspections suggest some level of effective pest management.
