151 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

This three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 151 Sackett Street, built in 1899, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, including three emergency complaints in 2023-2024, with violations issued in March 2023.

A recent inspection in October 2024 revealed multiple open violations, including missing safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection requirements, and gas leak procedures in the first-story public hall, as well as a lead paint hazard in Apartment 2's bathroom ceiling. The building has also faced challenges with mold (most recently reported in October 2024) and had rodent sightings in 2018 and 2019, though inspections in 2019 and 2018-2019 passed. The building's heating system has been a persistent challenge, culminating in multiple violations and a 2023 ECB violation for various boiler issues, including problems with the chimney, wires, and pipes.

There have been several instances of non-compliance with maintenance requirements in 2019, including excessive debris in the cellar. While the property has undergone some regulatory scrutiny, including multiple violations related to building safety notices and maintenance requirements, it is worth noting that most violations have been resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2023 shows no active infestations, with all three units having been successfully eradicated when cases were reported.
