162 Montague Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

Located at 162 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, this three-story, two-family residential building was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Eric Setton. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in late 2022 and late 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate services. A more recent incident in 2024 involved a food poisoning complaint that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deemed isolated, along with various other food establishment-related complaints in 2023 concerning allergy information, pesticide use, safety inspections, and contamination.

The building has multiple active violations related to the failure to file required boiler inspection reports between 2018-2020, with additional historical violations recorded in 2019 regarding construction work beyond approved plans. There have been several complaints about electrical issues, including a power outage incident in late 2022. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent three inspections in 2023-2025 passing successfully, though there were some indications of rodent activity noted in 2018 and 2019.

Bedbug inspections over the past three years (2022-2025) show no evidence of infestations. The building had some notable building system violations in 2018-2023, including a discrepancy regarding filing a Certificate of Compliance in 2018 that resulted in a $1,250 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved. The Department of Buildings has issued permits in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work under job number 321969811, suggesting some maintenance and improvement work was undertaken.
