116 Berry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 116 Berry Street in Williamsburg, owned by Sal Perovic, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly regarding building systems and unit conditions. Most notably, there was a significant pattern of heating and hot water problems in 2019-2020, with multiple HPD complaints filed between October 2019 and March 2020, though inspections either found no violations or confirmed that services had been restored.

The building has also faced challenges with electrical systems, including a power outage complaint in March 2019. More recently, three consecutive violations were issued between 2022 and 2024 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which remain open as of 2025. Apartment 2R has documented violations from October 2019 related to various maintenance issues, including concerns about suspended ceilings, defective plaster surfaces, and the need for repairs and repainting of walls.

This unit was also cited for two significant issues: a carbon monoxide detector problem (Class B violation) and a mice infestation (Class C violation). Additionally, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion from February 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claims. While some complaints have been promptly addressed, as evidenced by quick response times and resolutions, the persisting violations related to bedbug reporting and multiple system outages raise concerns about the building's overall maintenance and management practices.
