89 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 6-story residential building at 89 Wallabout Street in Williamsburg, owned by Mendy Deutsch, is a relatively modern structure built in 1997. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most significant being an ongoing elevator safety concern dating back to September 2019, when a violation was issued related to unresolved defects from a 2017 inspection.

The building also had an immediate emergency plumbing/water supply issue in May 2019, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within two days. In 2021, the property received a Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was ultimately resolved.

Notably, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the annual reports filed between 2020 and 2024. While there have been two Department of Buildings violations issued in January 2020 and January 2021, both were ultimately dismissed by December 2022, as subsequent inspections showed that the reported defects had been corrected. The history of 311 service requests and housing maintenance complaints suggests that while the building has experienced some maintenance issues, they have generally been addressed promptly and resolved within reasonable time frames.
