132 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 16-unit, 3-story residential building at 132 Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 132 Havemeyer St LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a significant water leak with heavy flow that took several months to resolve, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) ultimately closing the case in May 2024 without issuing violations.

Earlier incidents include a December 2022 heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though this was reportedly resolved within two days according to tenant reports. In May 2024, a Class C violation was issued regarding a defective fire door latch on the second story public hall, which was certified for correction in June 2024.

The building has also faced challenges with water retention and drainage issues, evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 and 2024, though inspections were marked as unable to gain access on final attempts. Historical records show two DOB violations from 2019 and 2020 related to elevator inspection requirements, both of which were dismissed upon demonstration of correction. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reports of bedbugs in the past six reporting periods (2019-2024), and underwent successful rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, with only one failure in September 2019 for "Other Reasons." While the building has had periodic maintenance issues, the current status (as of October 2023) shows no active violations, and past violations typically demonstrate prompt resolution when cited.
