250 Seeley Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

250 Seeley Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Gary Rubin. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent significant cluster of violations occurring in September 2021.

These violations included multiple problems with the public hall stair bulkhead, such as broken walls requiring repair, doors needing proper self-closing mechanisms, and the need for repainting with light-colored paint. There was also an open violation regarding piping obstructing the pathway to the roof gooseneck ladder, and a public safety concern with missing window guards identified in Apartment 13. The building had prior significant maintenance issues in 2001 when Apartment 9 on the 3rd floor was noted for multiple violations including mildew in the bathroom, broken ceramic tiles, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint throughout the apartment.

In more recent history, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through the current reporting period in 2024, with no infested or re-infested units reported in any of the annual bedbug filings. The property owner has also taken steps to address building maintenance through the issuance of permits in 2019, including an emergency work permit and an alteration permit, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. While there are several open violations from 2021 that appear to remain unresolved as of October 2023, the lack of new violations in recent years and the consistent bedbug reporting history implies improved management practices in certain maintenance areas.
