425 Jerome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 425 Jerome Street in East New York, owned by Dwayne Cordice, has experienced persistent water-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple water leak complaints in 2022 and 2023, with the most recent incidents occurring in September 2023 involving "heavy flow" leaks. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical lighting problems, plumbing issues, and heating system complaints.

In June 2022, there were concerning rodent infestation issues, with violations noted during health inspections, and the building has a documented history of pest control attempts dating back to 2017. A 2023 inspection revealed multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 2F, including water leaks, mold, and pest issues, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property's recent history shows an ongoing pattern of water-related complaints, with three water leak incidents reported in late September 2023 alone, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued.

While the building had previously experienced heating issues (as noted in December 2022), this complaint was addressed during inspection. The building's overall maintenance record indicates periodic issues with windows, doors, and various appliances, resulting in multiple service requests to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Despite these challenges, many of the violations and complaints have been addressed and closed through inspections and repairs, though some recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance concerns. The most recent bedbug report filed in 2024 indicated no active infestations during the reporting period.
