86 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
86 Havemeyer Street is a 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Avrumi Licht. The property has experienced recurring sanitation and pest issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints in 2023-2024 focusing on garbage/recycling storage conditions. Violations were issued for improper waste management in September 2023 and an open violation remains as of August 2024 regarding rodent droppings at the building's front entrance.
The building has a documented history of rodent infestations, with multiple rat sighting reports between 2019-2023, including recent inspections in March and April 2023 showing rat activity. Previous Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate past issues with garbage storage, pest control, and documentation requirements related to bedbug reporting, though recent filings for the 2023-2024 period show zero infested units. The property underwent significant scrutiny between 2020-2021 regarding changes made to the first floor and basement spaces, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations issued for unauthorized modifications connecting the first-floor apartment to the basement, which was not permitted as part of the building's four Class A units.
While these violations were ultimately resolved, they indicate past concerns about unauthorized alterations to the building's layout. Additional historical violations from 2018 show past concerns about safety notices and lock installations. Regular bedbug reports submitted from 2019 to present indicate that while there have been zero confirmed infestations, proper reporting procedures have been followed. The building has partially addressed sanitation issues, as evidenced by some violation closures, but continues to experience periodic rodent and waste management challenges, as confirmed by recent inspection results and service requests.
