160 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
160 Havemeyer Street is a 6-story, 35-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Mordechai Katz. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues, with three emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded between April 2024 and January 2025, including two significant incidents in January 2025 where heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with an April 2024 inspection revealing multiple violations in apartment 18, including mold issues, bedbug infestation (though this has not reappeared in recent annual reports), plumbing problems, and various general maintenance concerns.
The building's infrastructure faced scrutiny in 2018-2019 with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to gas supply systems, electrical wiring, and construction work performed without proper permits. Recent building history shows ongoing management challenges, particularly regarding heat system reliability and moisture-related issues. Inspection records from 2024-2025 indicate rat activity in and around the building, though recent October 2024 inspections showed some compliance improvements, including no current reports of bedbug infestations.
The building has been subject to multiple emergency complaints since 2018, including safety concerns about means of egress, which was recorded as a violation in November 2020. While the property has undergone various repair and maintenance efforts, including the issuance of several plumbing permits between 2018-2019, the recurrent nature of heating system failures and moisture-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance requirements. The building's rodent control efforts have shown mixed results, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2022-2024.
