260 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
260 South 1st Street is a 24-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Joan Montano. The property has experienced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" dating back to 2019, and recent violations in 2024 related to elevator maintenance including counter-weights, emergency phone repairs, and maintenance logs.
The building has multiple active violations from 2023-2024 regarding building maintenance concerns, including issues with cracked stones, damaged fire escape stairs, and concerns about facade maintenance that have not been fully resolved. Recent housing maintenance code violations and complaints show persistent issues with various apartment features, including doors, plumbing fixtures, and kitchen elements, though many of these complaints have been inspected with no violations issued. The building has passed all bedbug and rodent inspections between 2018-2025, indicating no pest infestations.
Recent inspections from 2024 identified several maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with kitchen cabinets and bathroom features in specific units (2D and 5A), and the need to address fire retardant material in the bulkhead. There are also two open lead certification violations from 2024 for apartments 2C and 4D that require resolution. While the property has maintained habitability standards with no immediate health or safety violations reported, the recurring nature of elevator issues and various maintenance violations suggests ongoing management challenges.
