176 Johnson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
176 Johnson Street, an 8-story commercial altered Class A building in Downtown Brooklyn, has experienced various maintenance issues since its construction in 1926. The most recent problems include ongoing violations from July 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in the 8th story compactor closet, and multiple active violations from September 2024 related to failure to file Low-Pressure Inspection reports. The building has documented persistent water-related issues, with three emergency plumbing complaints between July 2024 and June 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection.
Historical concerns include a significant ventilation issue in 2020, evidence of mold problems that year, and various door/window-related access issues in 2022. The building has faced multiple compliance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems. Notable violations include defective boiler flue pipes in 2022 (multiple open violations), a Carbon Monoxide detector issue in Apartment 5D (2020), and a sprinkler system complaint in late 2024 where the inspector was unable to gain access. The property has consistently maintained a bedbug-free status according to annual reports from 2019-2024, and past rodent inspections (2010, 2013, 2019) have all passed.
Recent 311 complaints include a 2025 food establishment issue with pests, and historical complaints suggest recurring concerns with building systems requiring tenants to file new complaints when inspectors could not gain access. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and safety equipment compliance. While certain historical violations have been resolved, multiple active violations remain as of September 2024, including four failures to file required Low Pressure Inspection reports and several boiler-related issues. The property has demonstrated adequate pest control management over the past five years, with no reported infestation cases.
