128 North 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
The three-story, five-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 128 North 1st Street in Williamsburg, owned by Felix Shepeluk and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been two power outage incidents in 2025 (in March and May), with the March incident resulting in HPD violations that are particularly concerning for resident safety.
The building has open Class A violations related to an unfiled annual bedbug report for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating persistent non-compliance with this important housing maintenance requirement. However, the building has shown some improvement in pest control, with rodent inspections in 2019 (one passed and one failed), and multiple bait applications documented in early 2010, following earlier reports of rat activity in late 2009.
An unusual and currently unresolved situation involves a bee/wasp complaint filed with DOHMH in April 2023. Overall, the building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with electrical systems and pest management compliance, particularly concerning bedbug reporting requirements.
