54 South 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, 24-unit residential building at 54 South 9th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Elizabeth Moronta, was constructed in 1995 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing situation with cooking gas complaints, with two emergency complaints filed in October 2024 that were closed in April 2025, one of which could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building has had multiple violations related to its low-pressure system, with active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2021 and 2022, as well as an active ECB violation from May 2020 regarding boiler problems including a leaking relief valve and exposed wires, which carried a penalty of $625. Other maintenance issues include a pest inspection in August 2024 (non-emergency) that did not result in violations, and opened complaints in May 2023 regarding window frames and ceilings, though these were also closed without violations being issued. The building has maintained a record of good pest control practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in its official filings from 2020 through 2024.

Finally, the property has undergone regular maintenance as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2020-2022, including several emergency work permits, though the exact nature of these repairs is not specified in the available data. The building's recent history shows a mix of compliance and maintenance challenges, with the most pressing concerns currently being the unresolved cooking gas issues and the outstanding low-pressure system violations. While the property has generally maintained good pest control and ventilation conditions, the access issues encountered during recent inspections suggest ongoing challenges with obtaining timely and comprehensive responses to maintenance complaints.
