132 Wallabout Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

132 Wallabout Street in Williamsburg is an 8-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 2003, currently owned by Dave Schwartz. The building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding door closures and safety compliance, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2020 and 2022. These violations primarily involve defective or missing self-closing doors in various locations, including the electrical meter room, roof access, and elevator entrance.

More concerning are several active violations related to the building's exterior maintenance requirements, with the property currently facing penalties totaling $10,000 for failing to submit required Cycle 8C and 9C reports of critical examination documenting conditions of exterior walls and appurtenances. Additional active violations from 2023-2024 relate to non-compliance with external low pressure inspection filings, covering multiple years from 2018 through 2023. The building's recent history shows no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2024), indicating effective pest management practices.

Rodent inspections have been conducted periodically, showing rat activity in 2019, though previous and subsequent inspections from 2012 and 2010 respectively resulted in passing grades. While some historical violations from 2019-2021 were resolved and dismissed based on subsequent reports showing corrected defects, the building currently faces multiple active violations with unmet filing requirements, particularly concerning external inspections and maintenance certifications. These ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding exterior maintenance documentation, suggest potential challenges with building maintenance oversight, though no recent violations directly impact resident safety or habitability.
