186 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 186 Butler Street in Gowanus, owned by Vito Mannino, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years.
Most recently, in March 2025, there was an apartment-specific heating problem, following a December 2023 incident that affected the entire building; in both cases, HPD was informed that the issues had been resolved. The building has been under consistent scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
Additionally, there have been rodent-related concerns, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documenting signs of rodent activity in May 2021, followed by compliance inspections in July and September 2021 confirming rat activity. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and pest management, as evidenced by the pattern of heating system failures and the persistence of open regulatory violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
