Augrented Insights Report for 188 Marcy Avenue

The 21-story, 348-unit building at 188 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Williamsburg Housing Preservation LP, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues between 2022-2025, with particular attention needed on water supply and heating systems. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water supply issues, with at least one inspector unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced heating system challenges, with complaints in February and January 2025 about lack of heat/hot water during inspections, though occupants reported restoration of services during follow-up contacts.

Plumbing issues have been documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with multiple instances of water supply problems recorded. Past violations include facade maintenance issues noted in 2018-2024, with the building being cited for failure to maintain exterior walls and appurtenances. Notably, there were facade safety concerns that resulted in a $10,000 penalty in February 2024, though this was later resolved.

The building has experienced periodic pest control challenges, with documented rodent activity in 2023-2025, and there have been several bedbug incidents reported between 2022-2024, though recent filings in 2024-2025 show fewer infestations. Multiple maintenance violations have been recorded in various apartments, including issues with doors, windows, plaster surfaces, and plumbing fixtures, though most violations appear to have been resolved upon re-inspection. The elevator system has also been a recurring focus, with multiple complaints about devices on the property, though inspections generally found no violations, and some complaints were referred to NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA). The building underwent some renovation work in 2020-2022, as evidenced by several permit issuances, and there were multiple complaints about work contrary to stop work orders in late 2021, though again, inspections typically found no violations.
