162 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

Located in Fort Greene, 162 Adelphi Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Meyer Weiner. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most alarming being multiple emergency complaints in 2024 regarding mold and wall conditions, as well as violations for wall plaster and paint issues.

There have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, including an entire building outage in December 2019, and a heavy water leak incident in late 2022 that resulted in violations. The building has documented pest control issues, with rodent sightings reported in 2021 and an apartment-specific cockroach infestation in late 2023, though recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations between 2021 and 2024. The property has undergone several inspections and repairs, with notable violations related to self-closing doors in both Apartment 1A and 2A, and issues with plexiglass at entrance doors in the vestibule area.

A compliance issue from 2018 regarding work not conforming to approved construction documents resulted in a penalty, and there is currently an active violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by prompt certification of corrections in mid-2024, though some complaints have required multiple reports for proper inspection access. Recent inspections in 2021 and 2017 passed rodent compliance checks, suggesting some improvement in pest control efforts.
