425 Essex Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

425 Essex Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Anne Dellimore. The property has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, most notably in May 2024 when multiple violations were documented in apartment 2R, including lead paint hazards, roof leaks, and door maintenance issues.

Specifically, the violations cited require remediation of lead-based paint on various surfaces, including door frames and baseboards, as well as repairs to both the apartment's ceiling and the building's roof to address water leakage problems. Historical data shows recurring maintenance challenges, with a documented heat and hot water emergency in January 2020, though conditions were reportedly restored following HPD intervention. The building's maintenance history reveals both recent and past concerns that have required official attention.

In addition to the 2024 violations, there were two 311 service requests in May 2024 regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, and the building has faced various infrastructure challenges documented through Department of Buildings complaints, including gas utility and electrical wiring inspections in 2019 and 2021, though no violations were found during these investigations. The property underwent successful rodent inspections in 2012, and bedbug reporting for the period of 2019-2020 showed no infestations, with zero units affected or requiring eradication during that time frame. As of the latest available data, multiple open violations remain from the May 2024 inspections, indicating ongoing maintenance needs that require attention to meet current housing standards.
