286 East 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

286 East 38th Street in East Flatbush is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Chantelle Rougier. The building's violation history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding its compliance with safety regulations.

Most notably, there is an ongoing violation since 2021 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing this issue remains unresolved. The building has also experienced significant safety concerns in 2016, when multiple violations were documented during an inspection on February 5th. These included open violations for an improperly installed double key-operated cylinder lock on the basement story west egress metal gate, and a closed violation regarding illegal interior modifications to the cellar area that required the filing of plans and obtaining a certificate of occupancy.

During the same inspection, deficiencies were noted in fire safety equipment, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices in the cellar, though these issues were later certified as corrected in January 2019. Another important safety-related violation from 2016 remains open regarding the use of a double key-operated cylinder lock at the first story building front entrance metal gate. While the building has had multiple violations over the years, many have been addressed and closed, though several critical safety concerns, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, persist as of the most recent inspection.
