142 Rodney Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The four-story, three-unit tenement at 142 Rodney Street in Williamsburg, owned by David Harfenes and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most pressing are the three open Class A violations from 2024, including failure to file the required annual bedbug report and a violation regarding proper signage for building management contact information.
Additionally, there are historical concerns about resident safety and maintenance in the building, including a January 2022 violation requiring repairs to a self-closing door at the entrance, a broken vinyl floor tile on the second-story landing, and a reported mold condition in the bathroom of the fourth-floor apartment. The building has also had periodic maintenance issues documented between 2020 and 2024, including a completed violation in 2022 regarding a ceiling repair in apartment 4, and various open violations relating to building safety and maintenance requirements.
Two complaint investigations were conducted in the last five years - a 2021 investigation regarding work without a permit and a 2020 complaint about egress issues, though neither resulted in any citations being warranted at the time of inspection. While some violations have been resolved through proper certification, the persistence of recent open violations, particularly relating to bedbug reporting requirements, indicates ongoing challenges with full regulatory compliance.
