116 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The five-story residential building at 116 Wallabout Street in Williamsburg, owned by Herman Silberman, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 1996. Most recently, in April 2024, the building was cited for failing to file its annual bedbug report, though subsequent reports from 2025 show no infestations had occurred during the 12-month period.

The building has a documented history of self-closing door maintenance issues, with violations recorded in June 2023 related to both an apartment (5A) and the roof bulkhead door, though these were certified as corrected by July 2023. The building's pest control history shows a period of rat activity in September 2019, followed by successful compliance inspections, and a series of bait applications in late 2013, suggesting past rodent challenges that have since been addressed.

The property has consistently filed bedbug reports for multiple years (2019-2025), showing zero cases of infestation or eradication in the reporting period from 2020 onwards, which indicates effective pest management in recent years. Earlier violations of note include a 2023 citation for household items blocking the public hall on the fifth story, and multiple bedbug report filing violations between 2021-2024. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of compliance and violation history, but with recent years showing improved compliance with pest control requirements, as evidenced by the absence of reported infestations and successful correction of self-closing door violations.
