141 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201

141 Columbia Heights, a 6-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Ari Sklar, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The building has undergone multiple inspections and faced various violations related to its boiler system, sidewalk scaffolding, and air conditioning units. Most recently, in November 2023, the building received an Oath Violation for having unsecured AC units on the first, third, and sixth floors.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were recurring issues with the sidewalk shed/scaffold system, with multiple violations issued for inadequate safety features and expired permits, resulting in several fines totaling $8,075. The building also faced mechanical issues, including a problematic boiler system in 2021 that led to multiple violations, though these were resolved. The property has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025).

Regular bedbug filings show consistent "0" counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units. Rodent inspections conducted in 2013 and 2015 both resulted in "Passed" ratings, indicating successful pest management during those periods. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly with its exterior scaffolding system and heating infrastructure, there have been no reported bedbug or rodent issues in recent years, suggesting improved pest control measures. The most recent open complaints in 2023-2025 primarily involve routine maintenance and safety compliance matters rather than emergency conditions.
