83 Harrison Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 83 Harrison Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Abraham Ganz, was constructed in 1931 as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent history reveals a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by housing maintenance code.

Between 2018 and 2021, the building experienced various maintenance issues, including electrical safety concerns in Apartment 4L's kitchen (north and south wall outlets), defective mail box receptacle repairs needed on the first story, and a broken wood floor violation in Apartment 4L's kitchen. The building had one notable safety-related violation in 2018 regarding the requirement to post gas leak procedures in a common area, though this was subsequently closed.

The property underwent bedbug treatment between November 2019 and October 2020, during which all 8 units were treated and the infestation was reported as eradicated. Most recently, in October 2024, there was an Environmental Control Board violation regarding the failure to submit required reports for an existing parking structure, though this violation was resolved with no penalties. The building appears to have ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding documentation and reporting requirements, despite previous treatment efforts and some resolved maintenance issues.
