128 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, two-family house at 128 Penn Street in Williamsburg, owned by Brucha Singer, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily related to public hallway conditions between 2018 and 2023. Most notably, there have been recurring violations involving encumbrances in public hall areas, with household items and boxes being consistently left in hallways across all stories, including the roof and bulkhead areas.

These violations, classified as B-level infractions, were observed during inspections in 2019 (multiple instances), 2021, and most recently in July 2023, though all were subsequently certified as closed after the appropriate corrections were made. The building also faced some maintenance challenges in 2018, with violations concerning broken or defective plastered surfaces requiring repairs and uniform painting on both the first and fourth-story public hall walls, which were addressed by late 2018 and early 2019.

In April 2019, a more serious C-level violation was recorded regarding a refrigerator with an attached door that constituted a nuisance in the public hall stairs and cellar, which was resolved by May 2019. While these violations suggest some ongoing challenges with maintaining common areas, it's worth noting that all documented violations have been officially closed, indicating compliance with correction requirements.
