66 Water Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 5-story, 24-unit building at 66 Water Street in DUMBO, owned by David Walentas, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Between July and September 2023, there was a notable cluster of complaints regarding food establishment cleanliness and rodent problems, with multiple service requests to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) related to rodents, insects, and garbage.
While these complaints were marked as "administratively closed" with indications that the issues were addressed, they suggest ongoing pest management challenges. More recently, in early 2025, the building passed initial rodent inspections, though several bait applications were recorded throughout 2024. The property has a history of heating system issues, with a Class C violation issued in March 2019 for inadequate heat supply to apartment 2E, along with several open violations related to improper posting of gas leak procedures and heating system contact information.
Compliance inspections and violations from the Department of Buildings show mixed results, including a violation in late 2019 for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, though this was subsequently dismissed. Recent bedbug reporting shows no infestations in the past three years, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. The building's permit records from 2019-2020 show several issued permits for various work, though specific permit details are not provided in the summary.
