The three-unit, three-story residential building at 488 Jerome Street in East New York, owned by Einav Makover, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that require attention. Most notably, in July 2024, an open Class C violation was documented for a mice infestation in the first-floor apartment, marking a persistent pest control issue for residents. The building has undergone multiple inspections in 2023-2024 revealing various maintenance concerns, including multiple instances of defective door mechanisms (notably self-closing doors) in both the basement and public areas, issues with fire retardant materials in the boiler room, and problems with ceramic tiles in the second-story public hall. While the building's owners have addressed many violations - as evidenced by the "Closed" status of several citations - the persistence of the rodent issue and the open violation from July 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025, with all reports indicating no current or previously infested units, suggesting good management of this particular pest issue. Historical records show a passed rodent inspection in May 2012, though this is significantly outdated compared to current conditions. A plumbing permit was issued in January 2019, though no specific details about the work or its completion status are available in the current records. The building's overall violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily affecting common areas and building systems, with particular attention needed to address remaining open violations and the recently reported pest problem.
