132 North 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

132 North 1st Street is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building in Williamsburg, built in 1910 and owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints filed through HPD regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, including recent complaints in November 2023. These heating problems appear to be a recurring pattern, with similar complaints documented in December 2022, multiple incidents in December 2019, and various other dates throughout the years.

The building also has a history of rodent-related issues, with inspections showing rat activity in March 2023 and April 2023, though a subsequent rodent inspection in August 2023 passed. The property has several recorded housing code violations, including heating system access issues and temperature regulation problems in 2022, where violations were noted for Apartment 13 regarding inadequate heat supply and water temperature exceeding 130 degrees F. Other violations from previous years include problems with self-closing doors at building entrances and vestibules documented in 2019 and 2020, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected.

The building's owner has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2025-2024) showing zero infested units. Notably, there is currently an active violation issued in June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection. While the building has demonstrated improved response to pest control and has passed recent rodent inspections, the recurring heating system issues remain a significant concern for resident comfort.
