131 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, six-unit building at 131 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Charal Corp and constructed in 2011, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being water and mold problems. Most recently, from January to May 2025, there was a slow water leak, and in late 2024, there were multiple instances of mold complaints (one marked as emergency) as well as a cabinet-related issue, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports, which warrant attention given their ongoing status, though there have been no reported bedbug issues in recent years. While the building has generally passed health and safety inspections, there was one rodent sighting complaint in 2020 which resulted in a passed inspection, and a drainage-related complaint in 2021 which was also found to have no violations upon inspection.

The relatively new building structure has shown some recurring issues with water and mold specifically, with the most recent patterns suggesting these may be ongoing concerns. The property has experienced frequent administrative compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the four consecutive years of violations from 2021 to 2024, though no evidence of actual infestations has been recorded in recent years.
