143 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

143 North 8th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mordechai Katz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple heating and plumbing-related complaints filed through 311 services between late 2024 and early 2025.

Notably, between February 8-15, 2025, there were several emergency heat/hot water complaints, with at least one resulting in HPD violations, though the resolution process was complicated by inspection access issues. The building also faced water supply and intercom system complaints in February 2025 that went unresolved due to access problems. Earlier complaints from November 2024 regarding heavy water leaks similarly encountered access issues during HPD inspections.

Historically, the building has maintained regular bedbug and rodent management protocols, with no reported infestations over the past six years and a passed rodent inspection in February 2015. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2012, related to unauthorized alterations in Apartment 2R's kitchen ceiling, were certified as corrected in 2019. The property's recent pattern of emergency complaints, particularly regarding heat and water systems, suggests persistent infrastructure challenges, though many complaints were ultimately addressed or resolved through the appropriate channels.
