138 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211
138 Broadway is a 6-story, 40-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Kimberly Earl. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being recurring water problems. In late 2022, there were two separate reports of heavy water leaks, one of which resulted in building violations.
More recently, in late 2023, there was a lighting-related complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, particularly in December 2021, with violations issued for unsanitary conditions related to pests. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with multiple violations addressed regarding CO detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures as of May 2024.
An earlier significant issue involved a ceiling collapse in apartment 5G in 2022, attributed to water leakage, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation. The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with multiple complaints and violations between 2018-2020, including problems with emergency systems and maintenance. However, recent years have shown improved compliance, with no bedbug reports since 2019 and a passing rodent inspection in 2019. The most recent tenant safety inspections in August and September 2023 were completed without noted violations, suggesting some progress in maintenance oversight.
