112 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

112 Wallabout Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1996 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Josef Polak. The building has experienced multiple regulatory issues over recent years, with notable recurring concerns about building maintenance compliance. Most significantly, there are three open violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports in 2022-2024, and an open violation from 2024 concerning improper certificate of inspection display in the first-story public hall.

Security and safety concerns have been documented through various violations, including the illegal installation of multiple lockable slide bolts on exterior doors in 2022, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as resolved. The building faced elevator safety issues in 2020, resulting in a penalty of $3,125 for failing to install a mandatory door lock monitoring system, and an active violation from 2019 regarding uncorrected elevator defects dating back to a 2017 inspection. The property's maintenance history shows some attention to building upkeep, with several violations corrected in a timely manner.

For example, violations regarding accumulation of refuse on the roof (2023) and public hall maintenance (2022) were closed after appropriate actions were taken. The building underwent multiple rodent control measures in 2012-2013, with initial rat activity noted in September 2019, though subsequent inspection in October 2019 resulted in a compliance passing grade. While some violations remain open as of 2024, the building demonstrates periods of prompt correction of various code requirements, particularly in response to safety and maintenance citations. Historical records indicate consistent attention to elevator maintenance and safety requirements, though with some lapses resulting in violations and penalties.
