419 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
419 16th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by David Goldoff, located in the South Slope neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections from 2021 through 2025 consistently showing rat activity. Recent complaints from early 2025 indicate violations of smoke-free area regulations, with four separate smoking/vaping incidents reported between January and February 2025.
The building has undergone several significant maintenance challenges in recent years, including multiple heating and water supply issues, with emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water (2024) and water leakage (2025). A series of violations documented in May 2023 highlighted various maintenance issues, including defective doors, plaster damage, and problems with the public hall's ceramic tile floor. The property has also faced multiple emergency maintenance situations between 2023-2024, including issues with flooring, general maintenance problems, and plumbing concerns.
The Department of Buildings records from 2021 show several tenant safety inspections and construction-related actions, though most were found to have no violations. Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to construction safety were resolved with a penalty imposed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings showing zero infested units between 2020-2024. Despite these numerous maintenance issues, many service requests and violations have been resolved through inspections and corrections, though some problems appear to be recurring, particularly regarding rodent activity and heating systems.
