152 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

152 9th Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Gowanus, Brooklyn, built in 1932 and currently owned by Maria Abreu. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging between 2020-2021. During this period, there were multiple violations of the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding maintenance of public hallways on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, including issues with ceiling repairs, lighting, and soot removal, most of which were addressed by May 2021.

The building has also had recurring requirements to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2023 showing no infested or re-infested units. A serious incident occurred in 2020-2021 involving a fire that affected apartment 4R, though records indicate repairs were completed and signed off in July 2021 under job number 322044382. The property has been subject to several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including concerns about unauthorized commercial use of the property, with multiple inspection attempts in 2020 yielding "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" results.

A building shaking complaint from February 2020 was investigated in 2021 and the vacate order was fully rescinded. There are two active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to work without a permit, one from 2020 regarding an awning installation and another from 2022 concerning unauthorized signage. The building's most recent bedbug-related filings for 2022-2023 show no infestations, though there were previous issues with bedbug report compliance in 2021. Historical records from 2011 indicate rat activity was present at the property, though there have been no recent rodent inspections noted in the available data.
