180 Division Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, two-unit tenement building at 180 Division Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Hershe Greenzweig and constructed in 1920, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug report filing requirement.

The building has also faced significant mechanical and safety concerns, including multiple violations regarding boiler inspections and related issues. Four active violations from 2019 to 2024 indicate a failure to file required external low pressure inspection reports, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. In November 2021, the building received two separate complaints regarding boiler defects, for which Oath Violations were served.

An environmental control board violation from March 2021 detailed multiple technical issues including insufficient makeup air for the kitchen exhaust fan and various problems with the water heater systems, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed and remains due. On a somewhat positive note, the building's rodent inspections show improvement, with the most recent inspection in September 2023 resulting in a passing grade, following previous compliance and initial inspections in 2013. However, it's important to note that the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining up-to-date safety certifications and addressing basic reporting requirements, particularly with respect to bedbug reporting and boiler inspections.
