155 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The five-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at 155 Smith Street in Boerum Hill, owned by David Halberstam and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, there was a heat/hot water crisis in March 2021, with multiple complaints recorded between March 16-19, though these were eventually addressed according to official reports.

The building underwent several Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2024, with the most recent issues including an active sustainability enforcement investigation from August 2023 and a site conditions complaint from October 2023 that was pending resolution as of the most recent update. Notably, there were two food establishment violations in 2018-2019 related to pesticide use and spoiled food, though these incidents occurred several years ago and are not directly relevant to current building conditions. The property's recent maintenance record shows both challenges and compliance efforts, with multiple complaints related to construction work and sustainability compliance in 2023.

The building has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation rate during the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), with no units reported as infested, indicating successful pest management. While there have been various service requests and complaints over the years, including concerns about after-hours work and sidewalk conditions, most recent inspections have found no violations warranting action. The property's current status as of 2025 shows all previously reported heat issues have been resolved, with no active complaints regarding basic building services, though the sustainability enforcement matter from 2023 remains open as of the latest available data.
