156 South 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
156 South 9th Street is a 6-story, 59-unit residential building constructed in 1926, currently managed by Hindy Meislick C/o South Nine. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with particular attention required to its heating and gas systems. Most notably, there are multiple active ECB violations from December 2024 related to boiler defects, including improper venting, defective valves, and maintenance issues, with associated penalties totaling $15,625.
Recent HPD inspections in May 2025 documented multiple violations regarding doors and windows, though some complaints were found to have no violations. The building has also faced challenges with basic infrastructure systems, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower problems), water leaks, and floor concerns recorded in 2025. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in late 2024 suggesting instances of being out of service and requiring repair work, along with hazardous conditions noted in 2023. There are several open violations regarding fire safety systems, including issues with self-closing doors and fire-rated materials in public areas.
The property has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs according to the annual reports since 2019. However, there have been continued concerns about rodent activity, with inspections in 2023 showing evidence of rat activity and requiring bait application to mitigate the issue. The building's management has faced scrutiny for various compliance issues, including unpermitted plumbing and gas work observed in September 2024, and multiple violations regarding the failure to file necessary high-pressure inspection reports. While some violations have been closed, several remain active as of 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
