195 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The five-story, 16-unit building at 195 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Aline Nealis, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over the past two years, with ten building-wide complaints filed between October 2024 and April 2025, including several emergency complaints. Most recently, multiple complaints in April 2025 indicated continuing heat and hot water problems, with some violations issued in April 2024 affecting apartments 6 and 7, including inadequate heating and defective safety equipment. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny for safety equipment deficiencies, with violations recorded in 2024 for missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 6 and 7.

A notable infrastructure issue was documented in November 2024 regarding the boiler room's locked access door, with a similar violation from January 2024 still listed as open. The property has an extensive history of 311 complaints and Department of Buildings inspections, including several regarding unauthorized construction work and illegal hotel room use, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Building maintenance records show ongoing challenges with security and safety systems, including a November 2024 violation for a defective building entrance lock.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with no reported cases in the past five years. During rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024, the building generally showed compliance, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2013 and 2019, with the most recent inspection in November 2024 showing compliance. The Department of Buildings issued a permit in November 2021, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records.
