488 Berriman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
488 Berriman Street, a 2-family house built in 1925 in East New York and currently owned by Roy Rebeyev, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, between April and May 2025, the building faced multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, as well as problems with water leaks, flooring, ceiling damage, and appliance issues. These complaints resulted in several HPD violations that required the property owner to address the conditions, though some complaints from April 2025 were closed without inspection due to access issues.
The building also has an open Class B violation from October 2024 regarding a water leak, along with multiple other open violations from the same inspection affecting various areas, including bathrooms and other rooms. Historical data reveals ongoing concerns about unauthorized conversions, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 suggesting potential illegal unit modifications, though inspections often resulted in no violations being recorded. Water-related issues appear to be a recurring problem, with multiple HPD violations in 2024 specifically mentioning water leaks in various locations.
The building has a documented history of pest control inspections, with most recent rodent inspections showing mixed results, including both passed and failed inspections between 2011-2018. Of particular note is a comprehensive violation from 2018-2019 that documented illegal occupancy conversions in the cellar, including unlawful kitchen installations, though this violation ultimately resulted in no fines. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple violations remaining open for significant periods, particularly focusing on water damage, pest control, and ceiling/paint maintenance issues. The most recent cluster of complaints in 2025 suggests persistent maintenance challenges that have not been fully addressed.
