56 North 9Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 45-unit, 6-story building at 56 North 9th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Michael Weitzman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2017. Most recently, in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding the ventilation system, with inspections either being unable to proceed or resulting in no violations being found. Earlier in 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues in apartments, and in 2024, multiple attempts by HPD to inspect reported plumbing problems - including issues with basins/sinks and water supply - were unsuccessful due to lack of access.

The building has also had some infrastructure concerns, with violations noted for window frames, water leaks, and sanitary conditions in 2024, though no violations were issued for the latter two. The property has faced recurring issues with building systems and security features, including three inspections related to the sprinkler system in 2025, though none resulted in violations. In 2023-2024, several maintenance issues were documented, including the need to replace or repair kitchen fixtures in apartment 2D, and multiple emergency complaints were filed in mid-2025 regarding ventilation systems, mold, doors, and various maintenance issues, though many were marked as "closed" without clear resolution details.

The building's history shows consistent efforts to address infrastructure problems, with most housing maintenance code violations being certified as corrected, including security improvements made in 2023 related to vestibule door locks. While the building has passed recent bedbug inspections (2023-2024), there have been documented rodent activity reports in 2017 and 2021, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. The property appears to maintain active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infested units since 2020.
