234 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
234 South 1st Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building in Williamsburg built in 1905. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between late 2024 and early 2022, including three emergency complaints in December 2024 that affected the entire building, though some were duplicates of previously reported issues. These recent complaints represent the most significant ongoing maintenance concern.
The building underwent a Tenant Safety Inspection in 2021 with no violations recorded, and bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show minimal infestations, with only one reported case in 2019 that was successfully eradicated. The elevator system has been a recurring focus of attention, with multiple complaints about single device service between 2019-2025, though inspections generally found no violations warranting penalties. Notable violations were recorded in 2022 for Apartment 6A, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, window guards, and various painting requirements, all of which were subsequently closed.
The property is currently showing an active DOB violation from February 2023 regarding the filing of the FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report. Historical inspections between 2013 and 2018 indicated occasional rodent activity, though the most recent inspections in 2018 and 2015 passed. The most recent Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from April 2024 regarding elevator communication systems was resolved with a penalty of $1,250.
