855 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 60-unit, 6-story building at 855 East 19th Street in Flatbush, owned by Yida Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most concerning are the recurring rat infestations, with multiple bait applications documented throughout 2024-2025, and an active rodent inspection in April 2025 confirming rat activity. The building has also faced significant plumbing and electrical issues, including water supply problems in April 2025 and no lighting issues in March 2025, both categorized as emergencies.
An October 2024 inspection identified multiple violations in apartment 5E, including the presence of lead-based paint hazards, mouse infestation, and various maintenance issues such as a water leak, defective refrigerator gasket, and missing safety detectors, though most of these violations were subsequently closed through certification by November 2024. The building has a concerning history of elevator service issues, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2023. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025 include problems with plumbing, unsanitary conditions, and pest control.
While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (with zero reported cases from 2021-2024), the persistent issues with rodents, moisture (including mold), and various maintenance concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has received multiple HPD inspections in response to resident complaints throughout 2025, though most were found not to violate housing laws, except for one incident in March 2025 involving ceiling plaster where violations were issued. The building's status as a "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" structure was established in 1941.
