158 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 4-story, 16-unit tenement building at 158 Adelphi Street in Fort Greene, built in 1915 and owned by Meyer Weiner, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is a heat and hot water emergency complaint filed in January 2024 that was closed when housing inspectors were unable to access the building, though this was the most recent complaint on record as of October 2023.

The building faced structural concerns in July 2020 when a 1'x5' section of brick veneer fell from the 4th floor right side, leading to violations and a $6,250 penalty for failure to maintain the exterior wall. These violations were resolved, and subsequent requirements for a sidewalk shed were dismissed in January 2022. The building has maintained an active record with housing and building authorities, including a smoking violation in 2021, and historical maintenance issues such as water leaks and damaged plaster surfaces in Apartment 10 documented in 2006, though these violations were eventually certified as resolved in July 2023.

Bedbug inspections have shown no infestations since 2019, with only one recorded case in 2017-2018, while rodent inspections in 2013 indicated some activity before a compliance pass in April 2013. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections over the years, with recent inspections in 2021 and 2025 finding no violations at the time of inspection, though there were unsubstantiated complaints regarding maintenance in 2021. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to heat systems and building envelope integrity, though recent years show improved compliance with regular inspections and no major recurring pest issues.
