The two-story, four-unit building at 474 Jerome Street in East New York, owned by Kathleen McDonald and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023. The property has documented problems with unsanitary conditions, including mold (most recently reported in January 2023), and multiple violations related to ceiling paint/plaster issues. A significant inspection in March 2023 revealed several violations, including a class C violation regarding a roach infestation in apartment 1R that remains open as of March 2025, along with issues requiring the repair of plastered surfaces, a water leak, and various safety notice requirements related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector postings.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of similar issues dating back to 2021, including pest problems, plumbing concerns, and various unsanitary conditions. While recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) show no infestations, the property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with rat activity noted in November 2016, though subsequent inspections through 2018 showed compliance. The most recent violations from 2023 also included requirements to properly repair and remove encumbrances in common areas. The current status of the building indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and water-related issues, despite some violations being closed or certified by 2023-2024.
