103 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 12-unit, 6-story residential building at 103 Skillman Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Henry Weinberger and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns related to elevator functionality and bedbug reporting compliance. The building has demonstrated recent proper bedbug management, as evidenced by reports filed in 2025 showing zero infested units, following multiple violations in previous years (2021-2024) for failing to submit required annual bedbug reports.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations documented between 2018-2019, including issues with emergency phones, buttons, and failure to correct CAT 1 inspection defects from 2017, though some of these violations were eventually resolved. Significant safety and maintenance concerns have been documented in the building, particularly in apartment 5L, which has experienced multiple violations requiring attention to various safety features, including a defective GFCI outlet, self-closing doors, fire exit door locking mechanisms, and window guards between 2021-2023.

Other building-wide violations have included the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices (2021) and various elevator-related issues. However, the building has successfully passed recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating proper pest management in this regard. While many violations have been addressed and closed, the building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly during the early 2020s, though recent documentation suggests improved compliance with health and safety requirements.
