129 Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

129 Ryerson Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, owned by Yoel Falkowitz and constructed in 1905 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurrent maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns centering around heating systems, as evidenced by two emergency heat/hot water complaints in January 2025, one of which was investigated but found not to violate HPD housing laws. The property has a documented history of both mold and pest problems, particularly in mid-2024 when multiple complaints were filed, though inspections did not result in violations in some cases, while others were resolved with confirmed corrections.

The building's systems have faced intermittent challenges, with several heating complaints between 2020-2025, and some accessibility issues for HPD inspectors during investigation attempts. The property manager has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2024, showing no infestations during the past four reporting periods. An electrical wiring complaint was noted in August 2022 but was referred to the Department of Transportation and subsequently closed.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system challenges, unsanitary conditions (including mold and pest issues), and periodic maintenance needs, though many complaints were addressed through various means, including inspections and occupant confirmations. While recent complaints suggest ongoing concerns with heating systems, particularly during winter months, it's worth noting that some complaints were either not substantiated during inspections or were promptly addressed through required corrections. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug regulations and has maintained a generally responsive record to HPD inspections and requests, with the majority of complaints being closed appropriately through various resolution methods.
