221 Hooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 221 Hooper Street in Williamsburg, owned by Rachel Rubinstein, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, there was a cluster of complaints and violations related to various building systems, including plumbing (toilet and sink), appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), flooring, walls, cabinets, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pests.
While these complaints were all closed with no violations issued, their simultaneous occurrence suggests significant maintenance challenges. The building currently has open violations from August 2024 regarding failures to provide required lead-based paint documentation and notifications to occupants, as well as multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2021-2024.
The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with inspections in 2022 showing initial rat activity followed by a compliance pass in October 2022. In January 2023, there was a Department of Buildings inspection that resulted in an Oath Violation for failure to maintain the building in proper condition, specifically noting disrepair, peeling paint, missing bricks, and cracked lintels, leading to an active ECB violation with a $500 penalty. While many of the recent 2024 complaints were addressed through HPD inspections, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant comfort.
