178 North 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

178 North 10th Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building in Williamsburg built in 2010, currently owned by Tin Fung. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most significant recent incident being a sanitation complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that was opened in November 2022 and closed in September 2023, though no violations were found.

Heating system problems were documented in February 2021 when tenants reported loss of heat and hot water, which were restored shortly after the complaint. The building has a history of pest-related issues, with a significant cluster of complaints and violations documented in 2019, including an open rodent violation for apartment 4F issued in August 2019, and multiple rodent activity inspections showing bait application requirement in late 2019-2020. Indoor air quality concerns were reported in March-April 2020, with one complaint resulting in an advisory notice to the owner.

The building has shown relatively good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all five annual reports (covering periods from 2019-2025) showing zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations. However, several open violations remain on record as of 2024, including requirements for proper notice posting regarding heating system access, carbon monoxide detector requirements, building registration number, and bedbug reporting compliance. The owner has maintained regular communication with city agencies, as evidenced by multiple complaint filings and responses, though some issues, particularly regarding building sanitation and maintenance, appear to require ongoing attention.
