165 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit building at 165 Columbia Street, owned by South Brooklyn Renewal Hdfc, was constructed in 1901 and is currently classified as a former Class A building. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with the most significant concerns emerging in December 2024.

Multiple violations were documented in Apartment 3A as of December 24, 2024, including problems with water temperature exceeding 130 degrees (scalding), various door/window repairs needed, safety device maintenance requirements (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), bathroom issues (bathtub enamel surface and cabinet repairs), and interior maintenance needs (plaster and paint uniformity). The building has undergone three rodent inspections since 2019, with the most recent in July 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, though there was a rat activity report in July 2019. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of concerns primarily affecting Apartment 3A, with most issues being addressed through emergency and non-emergency service requests.

In December 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints related to plumbing (bathtub/shower), water leaks (heavy flow), heating/hot water systems, door/window conditions, and safety concerns. While some complaints were resolved with inspections showing no violations, others resulted in open violations requiring correction by the property owner. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status across three consecutive reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, with no recorded infested units.
