70 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The nine-story, 48-unit apartment building at 70 Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Jay Weitzman and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heating and electrical issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water (six incidents between January 9-23, 2025) and an electrical wiring issue. Prior to this, the building had moisture and maintenance challenges, including a mold violation (August 2024) and several access-denied inspections for water leak and ceiling paint issues (July 2023), particularly affecting the third apartment from the north on the seventh floor.
The building's recent history shows concentrated problems with building systems and maintenance compliance. In 2020-2021, there was a significant construction period marked by multiple safety violations, including issues with scaffolding, fire extinguishers, and safety meetings, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations.
The elevator system has also faced consistent scrutiny, with multiple complaints about single-device service and safety compliance between 2021-2022, including an ECB violation for various elevator maintenance requirements in 2022. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent filings (2022-2024), it had documented rodent activity in 2018-2019, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. The property has experienced periodic issues with heat/hot water availability, as demonstrated by the cluster of complaints in January 2025, though some were resolved quickly.
