298 St Marks Place is a 3-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Joseph Vaz. The property has experienced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple rodent-related complaints and inspections from 2023 through 2024.
The latest rodent inspection in August 2024 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," and previous inspections throughout 2024-2023 consistently noted rat activity and required bait application. The building has numerous open violations related to various safety and maintenance issues, including structural concerns with reported bulging at the top floor and eaves, unsafe electrical wiring conditions in the cellar, inadequate sprinkler system maintenance, and refuse accumulation in the rear yard. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed in 2023 relating to various issues such as flooring, plumbing, ceiling problems, and mold (marked as emergencies).
Building stability and safety concerns have been documented through complaints regarding building shaking/vibration and structural monitoring in 2023-2025, along with multiple Department of Buildings violations. These include an active violation as of April 2025 regarding electrical wiring, and several open violations from 2024 related to fire safety equipment and security concerns, such as the need for additional sprinkler heads and proper sealing of openings. While some historical violations have been resolved, including those from 2018-2019, the current violation status and ongoing pest control issues suggest persistent building maintenance challenges.
