143 Ross Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit building at 143 Ross Street in Williamsburg, owned by Goldie Lowinger, is a converted Class A property constructed in 1910. The building has experienced persistent regulatory challenges over recent years, most notably with recurring open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

While the property submitted a bedbug report for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 showing no infested or previously infested units, the open violations suggest ongoing compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements. In addition to the bedbug reporting violations, the building has multiple open violations from 2019 that warrant attention.

These include safety concerns such as obstructed egress due to closet partitions around a roof scuttle ladder on the third story, various code violations regarding the need for proper repairs and maintenance of fire retardant materials in public hall ceilings, and requirements to repaint hall areas with light-colored paint to meet Department standards. There are also noted concerns about encumbrances, specifically strollers obstructing passage to the staircase in the public hall, which could pose safety hazards. While some of these violations may be deemed less critical than others, the combination of unresolved maintenance and safety issues, along with the recurring bedbug reporting violations, suggests ongoing challenges in building management and compliance with housing regulations.
