130 North 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 130 North 1st Street in Williamsburg, owned by Vinny Dimartino and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable residential quality issues in recent years. Most concerning was a significant mold problem reported in June 2022 in basement Apartment 3, measuring approximately 2 square feet on both the south and east walls, which resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These violations, initially classified as Class B and later upgraded, required the building owner to trace the source and abate the visible mold conditions. Additional violations from the same inspection included a problem with a defective self-closing door in the basement entrance.

The building has shown some attention to pest management, with bedbug reports filed regularly since 2019 showing zero infested units in the most recent 2025 report, though there was non-compliance noted for failure to file annual reports in 2022 and 2023. Rodent control has been a recurring concern, particularly evident in 2012-2013 when multiple bait applications were required and initial inspections showed rat activity, though a compliance inspection in June 2019 passed without issues. The property has maintained regular inspections and compliance with reporting requirements since then, with the most recent bedbug filing in January 2025 showing no current infestations and the property passing its 2024-2025 inspection period requirements.
