157 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 115-unit, 6-story residential building at 157 Wallabout Street in Williamsburg, owned by Moshe Klein and constructed in 2002, has experienced several notable incidents affecting building systems and safety features since its completion. Most recently, in late 2024, multiple violations were recorded concerning building safety, including issues with self-closing doors at roof access points (both east and west) and the compactor closet on the 6th story, as well as problems with painted sprinkler heads in public halls on the 3rd, 4th, and 6th stories.
These violations were certified for correction in October 2024. In 2022, the building faced significant elevator safety issues, with multiple violations recorded regarding defective electrical brake monitoring switches and related safety equipment, resulting in penalties totaling $3,840, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history has shown some concerning patterns of violations and service interruptions, including a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in February 2019 that was resolved within days.
Additional citations have included failure to properly file annual boiler inspection reports in 2019 (which were dismissed after payment) and several energy-related violations between 2020 and 2024, including non-compliance with benchmarking requirements and failure to display energy efficiency scores. However, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with no recorded instances of bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in February 2019. The most recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) show no infestation cases, and previous elimination efforts were documented as successful.
