202 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 202 Penn Street in Williamsburg, owned by Chana Weiss and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Most notably, there were two separate heat and hot water complaints in November 2023, with the most recent resulting in an HPD investigation that confirmed restoration of services.

These heating problems follow a pattern, as similar issues were documented in multiple complaints between 2022-2023, showing an ongoing concern with building systems affecting resident comfort. The building has also faced administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four HPD violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all these violations have since been closed.

In 2023, there were construction-related concerns when unauthorized work was reported, specifically metal structures and a window conversion at the first and third floor levels, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. More recently, the building submitted clear bedbug reports for the 2022-2023 period, documenting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property's heating system reliability and historical bedbug reporting compliance, now seemingly resolved, are the most significant issues in its recent history, with all other complaints and violations properly addressed and closed by the current date of July 2025.
