150 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 31-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 150 North 5th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Brandon Wechsler and built in 1910, presents several notable concerns as of 2025. Most pressing are multiple active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2022-2024, and an active ECB violation from 2019 regarding an inoperative car inspection box.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), the building had documented rodent-related issues in March 2019, with at least one inspection revealing rat activity. The Department of Buildings has addressed several complaints over recent years, including a March 2025 work without permit violation, a January 2023 investigation into illegal hotel rooms that found no violations at that time, and a October 2020 crane-related complaint that also warranted no violations.
Additional historical complaints from 2020-2022, including a compliance sweep in January 2022, revealed no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history indicates regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, showing no infestations needing eradication.
