139 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 139 Penn Street in Williamsburg, owned by Miriam Deutsch and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2023. Most notably, in March 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water shortages throughout the entire building, classified as emergency situations, though these were apparently resolved within a few days according to tenant reports and subsequent inspections.

During the same period, there was also a non-emergency complaint about unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, which was closed following inspection without any violations being issued. The building currently has four open violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with inspection dates ranging from 2021 to 2024, indicating an ongoing compliance issue with this specific requirement.

Additionally, a boiler-related complaint was filed in March 2023, though this was investigated and closed within four days, with inspectors finding no violations at the time of their visit. Despite these concerns, it's worth noting that the building is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure, which generally indicates it has been converted from another use (possibly commercial or manufacturing) to residential use at some point in its history, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the data.
