142 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
142 Remsen Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1936, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably with its heating system. In November 2024, multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages were filed, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.
While inspections confirmed restoration of services, these incidents followed a pattern of heating-related complaints, including an emergency report in December 2023 and previous issues in 2020. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with violations noted in 2024 (Apartment 52) and earlier reports in 2021 and 2020. Water-related issues have been recurrent, with reports of heavy flow leaks in October 2023 and December 2020, though these were resolved without violations.
The property has a history of regulatory concerns, including multiple Department of Buildings violations associated with commercial space unauthorized use in 2018-2019, related to an unlicensed "day spa" operation in the basement area, with penalties totaling $5,000. There were also serious concerns about illegal alterations and occupancy of commercial space as part of the multiple dwelling in 2018. On a positive note, recent records show zero confirmed bedbug infestations for the past two reporting periods (2022-2024), and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in February 2023 showing compliance.
