195 South 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

195 South 9th Street is a 4-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Moshe Schweid. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with its heating and hot water systems, which have been the subject of multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025. Recent violations from June 2025 include problems with a cabinet, window pane, and flooring, all of which received HPD violations requiring remediation.

The building's history shows persistent rodent issues, with recent inspections in 2025 confirming rat activity, and previous violations related to fire safety and emergency egress from apartment 1D. Structural and maintenance concerns have been documented through various complaints, including dedicated issues with window frames, wall conditions, and heating systems. The property has maintained a relatively stable bedbug record, with no infestations reported in the past four years.

An inspection from October 2023 noted drainage issues (LL103/89) which were referred to HPD, and there is an outstanding violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. Recent housing maintenance code violations, certified between December 2024 and January 2025, included issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly affecting apartments 1D and 5B, as well as violations regarding access to the building's heating system. While the property has undergone various repairs and inspections, the recurring nature of heating system complaints and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history of violations and complaints is systematically documented through HPD and DOHMH records, with the most pressing current issues relating to basic services and building maintenance.
