131 North 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Located in Williamsburg, 131 North 4th Street is a 4-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Sam Wurzberger. The property has experienced recurring health and safety concerns, particularly related to its food establishment (likely a ground-floor commercial space) over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were two food establishment complaints involving kitchen maintenance and pest control issues, both of which were closed by January 2025.

The building has also documented multiple food poisoning incidents between 2024 and 2020, though these were determined to be isolated cases. Between 2020 and 2024, several complaints regarding rodents, insects, and garbage were filed and resolved through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), along with issues related to letter grading and allergy information. The building's maintenance history shows no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, with all six annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units.

In terms of compliance and inspections, a class A Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements was recorded in March 2022, but this has since been resolved. The property has also undergone minimal structural or regulatory issues, with only two complaints filed in 2019 related to after-hours work and an access issue that required multiple inspection attempts. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2019 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has experienced periodic health and safety concerns, particularly regarding its food establishment's sanitation and pest control, these issues have generally been addressed through official inspections and resolutions.
