101 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, 10-unit building at 101 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, built in 1930 and currently owned by Mtichell Asher, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. In late 2020 and early 2021, multiple violations were documented, including problems with doors/windows, intercom systems, pest infestations, and wall conditions, which were all ultimately addressed through inspections.

A cluster of violations was recorded in January 2021, including fire safety concerns such as defective fire retardant material in various locations throughout the building, particularly in the lobby and public hall areas on multiple stories, though most of these have since been closed. More recent issues include a July 2022 violation regarding boiler equipment and safety features, which was resolved through a hearing process. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, with reports of rodent activity noted as recently as July 2025, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no confirmed infestations.

Previous complaints have included heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in late 2018, though these were reportedly resolved. The property has undergone regular rodent monitoring, with bait applications documented in 2019 and a passed inspection in February 2025, though a recent inspection in July 2025 noted active rat activity. The building's systems and infrastructure have experienced various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly concerning door functionality, wall conditions, and pest control requirements.
