131 Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 131 Ryerson Street in Clinton Hill, owned by Cesar Vargas, was constructed in 1905 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in October 2022, which was reportedly resolved shortly after inspection.
The building has a documented history of mold-related problems, particularly in January 2022 when multiple violations were issued concerning mold conditions in Apartment 7 and window frame issues. This apartment also had several window-related violations that required repairs to springs, sash mechanisms, and installation of proper window guards.
Recent inspections in 2022 and 2023 revealed annual bedbug reporting violations, though the most recent filings from 2023-2024 show no infested units or eradication efforts noted, suggesting improved compliance with this requirement. A rodent inspection conducted in September 2020 passed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to resolving issues, as all cited violations have been closed, though the pattern of complaints indicates recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to water heating systems and window conditions.
