166 Montague Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
166 Montague Street is a 10-story, 23-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1891 and currently owned by Arthur Wiener. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being related to rodent activity. In 2025 alone, there were multiple rodent inspections showing consistent rat activity, with bait application documented in March 2025.
The building has also faced several emergency maintenance issues, including a broken window guard in 2024, a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in 2022, and multiple water supply problems in 2021. Notably, there are two active violations related to failing to file required external low pressure inspections, with penalties totaling $6,250. The building's elevator system has had multiple inspection requirements between 2019 and 2022, all of which were eventually resolved, though there remains a current violation for failure to perform a Category 5 inspection. The property has undergone regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17, with most inspections resulting in "No Violation Warranted" outcomes.
There was one documented incident of a broken/missing window guard in 2024, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. Additionally, there have been two recent illegal after-hours work complaints in 2024-2025, though inspections found no violations at the time. The building's pest management records show no bedbug infestations reported between 2021 and 2024, and it has maintained passing grades on initial rodent inspections in previous years, suggesting that while current rodent issues are concerning, they may not represent historical trends. The property has also experienced issues with sidewalk safety and pedestrian protection requirements, as evidenced by a 2020 violation that was resolved, though recent inspections related to this matter all show "No Violation Warranted" outcomes.
