195 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 36-unit, 6-story building at 195 Underhill Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Yossel Lichtman, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple pest-related incidents, with six housing maintenance code violations issued in November 2024 for roach infestations affecting the 1st to 6th-story public halls and apartment 6F. Similar pest problems were documented through multiple 311 complaints between late 2024 and early 2025.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2025, including multiple failed access attempts for inspections of paint/plaster issues (walls and ceilings), and appliance problems (specifically with a refrigerator). Recent construction has apparently caused indoor air quality concerns due to dust, as reported in May 2025. The property has a history of mechanical and safety compliance concerns, including three building violations in August 2024 regarding air conditioner units obstructing fire escape egress on multiple floors. Earlier complaints from 2021-2022 included inspections for plumbing and elevator issues, though no violations were found at those times.
The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspection results, with some past failures for rat activity noted in 2018, 2023, and 2024. However, most recent inspections indicate compliance, with the latest inspection in July 2025 showing passed results. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 to 2024. While many past violations have been resolved, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to pests and construction-related problems.
