157 Rodney Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 157 Rodney Street in Williamsburg, owned by Isaac Teitelbaum, has experienced several concerning patterns over recent years. Most significantly, as of April 2024, there are multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and compliance requirements, including failure to properly post important safety information about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures.
The building has also failed to file required annual bedbug reports as of both March 2023 and April 2024. Recent tenant safety inspections in early 2024 resulted in Oath Violations being served. The property has a documented history of construction-related issues, particularly during 2020 when multiple violations were issued for work done without permits, including unauthorized plumbing and construction on the third floor, and modifications to the parapet wall.
These violations led to several ECB citations, with penalties totaling $10,000 for failure to comply with Commissioner's orders, though some related violations were ultimately dismissed. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with rodent inspections revealing rat activity in 2022 and 2023, though a compliance inspection in March 2023 resulted in a passing grade. While some violations have been resolved, the persistent nature of recent safety and compliance issues suggests ongoing management challenges at the property.
