165 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
165 South 1st Street is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building located in Williamsburg and owned by German Soto. Built in 1920, this old-law tenement has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2023, Apartment 8 faced multiple violations including infestations of mice and roaches, peeling paint requiring proper remediation, and lead-based paint hazards.
The building also experienced heat and hot water issues in January 2023, though these were resolved without violations. While a rat sighting was reported in March 2022, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's inspection found no violations. The building's management has consistently filed bedbug reports annually from 2019 through 2024, with no infestations noted in the past five reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management.
The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance requirements, including work on lead paint hazards that was certified as completed by May 2023. A complaint regarding potential illegal hotel rooms was filed in January 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt. Historical records show regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no documented infestations between 2019 and 2024. The building successfully passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, though the presence of vermin in 2023's Apartment 8 violations indicates ongoing monitoring may be necessary.
