165 Middleton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The five-story, four-unit residential building at 165 Middleton Street in Williamsburg, owned by Zalman Biederman and constructed in 2015, has several notable regulatory and safety compliance issues as of July 2025. The most pressing concerns are the multiple active violations related to external low-pressure system inspections, with eight separate violations issued between 2018 and 2023 for failing to file the required inspection reports.

Additionally, the building has recurring violations regarding bedbug report filings, with three consecutive open violations recorded between 2022 and 2024, indicating the building's management has not complied with the Housing Maintenance Code requirements to submit these annual reports. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show a construction-related complaint from 2020 that resulted in a Stop Work Order, though this was fully rescinded in October 2021.

Most recently, in February 2024, there was a complaint that required two inspection attempts, though access was not granted to the inspector. While the building's relatively recent construction date (2015) suggests it should meet modern safety standards, the pattern of violations and non-compliance with required inspections raises concerns about the building's management's attention to maintenance and regulatory requirements. All violations remain open or active as of the latest available data in 2024-2025, indicating ongoing compliance issues.
