213 Middleton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 213 Middleton Street in Williamsburg, owned by Noe Sierra, has experienced a few notable maintenance issues since 2021. Most recently, in January 2025, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though the issue was resolved promptly within two days, with HPD confirming restoration of services during their inspection. This incident marked the building's first documented heating system failure in recent years.

Previously, the building underwent a rodent inspection in December 2021, which it passed, following a rat sighting complaint in September 2021 that resulted in a minor violation during the inspection. The building has also had two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2024, though these appear to have been administrative in nature. The building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations, with all of the eight bedbug reporting filings between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The most recent valid bedbug report filing period (Nov 2022 - Oct 2023) confirmed no infestations, and prior reports from 2021-2022 and earlier similarly documented a complete absence of bedbug issues. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2021 and 2024 with minimal violations, though a rat sighting in 2021 generated a service request. While the heating system failure in January 2025 was notable, it appears to be an isolated incident based on the available data, as the building had not previously reported such an issue in recent history.
