162 Stuyvesant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

162 Stuyvesant Avenue is an 8-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Arnold Ludwig. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints filed about water leaks between 2020 and 2023, including three separate incidents of slow leaks and a heavy flow leak in August 2023 that was classified as an emergency.

Other notable maintenance concerns include an unsanitary sewage condition complaint in 2022 that received no violations after inspection, and recent issues with ceiling paint and lighting in August 2023, though HPD was unable to access the property to investigate these complaints. The building has two open violations as of 2024: one related to missing or defective window guards in Apartment 1B, and another from 2023 requiring the filing of the annual bedbug report.

The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections in 2023-2025, though there were multiple bait applications in early 2023. The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2022 show no infestation, with all units listed as either "0" or "N/A" for infested dwelling units. While the building has a history of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding water leaks, the recent rodent control efforts and lack of bedbug infestations suggest some consistency in dealing with major pest concerns, though the open violations and recent maintenance complaints indicate ongoing issues with building upkeep.
