116 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

As of July 2025, 116 South 1st Street, a 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1910 in Williamsburg and currently owned by 116 South 1st Street, LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety. In January 2025 alone, there were multiple service requests regarding plumbing (sink issues), electrical problems (outlet/switch), and heating/hot water systems, with the latter resulting in violations. The building has a documented history of infestation concerns, with multiple violation notices issued in December 2024 for pests (including both mice and roaches) particularly affecting Apartment 1.

Other notable violations include issues with flooring (December 2024), bathroom tiles (December 2024), and a lock modification in Apartment 1 that violated regulations. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, including significant heating system complaints. In 2024, there were multiple service requests regarding heating/hot water systems, and violations were issued during inspections.

Apartment 18 (5th floor) was documented in March 2024 for several issues needing attention, including water leaks, cabinet problems, and pest infestation. Historical data reveals previous concerns with building systems, including a 2019 violation related to annual boiler inspection reporting. While the building has maintained an active pest management program as evidenced by rodent inspections in 2021-2022, the persistence of both rodent and pest-related violations suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining a fully habitable environment. Notably, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual reports from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective management of this particular issue.
