478 Jerome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 478 Jerome Street in East New York, owned by Olufemi Falade, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance spanning multiple years. Most notably, the property has accumulated seven consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
Additionally, there is a significant cluster of Department of Buildings violations regarding external low pressure inspections, with six active violations documented from 2018 through 2023 all relating to unfiled inspection reports, and one violation from 2020 concerning a missed boiler inspection for 2017. While the building passed rodent inspections in December 2016 and in May 2012, failed inspections were recorded in November 2016.
The building's long history dates back to 1930, and despite its age, the current violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with basic safety and maintenance requirements. The most recent documentation as of October 2023 shows that many of these violations remain unresolved, with particularly recent violations from 2024 regarding low pressure inspection filings. The pattern of violations indicates systematic issues with timely reporting and compliance, rather than isolated incidents.
