164 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

164 Havemeyer Street is a 23-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg and owned by Jeanette Padilla. The property, constructed in 1908, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, though these complaints were subsequently marked as closed following HPD inspections. The building has also faced several unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and mold issues, particularly notable during the fall of 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding pests and a water leak.

While these issues were investigated by HPD, not all inspections were completed successfully. To address safety concerns, three violations were issued in late 2024 regarding Apartment 19's safety systems, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with the improper installation of an air conditioner in the fire escape window. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure components, though with mixed results.

A November 2020 inspection noted several boiler room issues requiring correction, which were subsequently addressed. Compliance inspections for rodent activity showed positive results in recent years, with the last two inspections (2022) showing rat activity, though earlier inspections between 2018 and 2019 consistently passed. The property has maintained good records regarding bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the last several years across multiple inspection periods from 2019 to 2024. Additional historical records show attention to various maintenance issues, including previous boiler violations in 2020, a construction work order in 2018, and some historical pest control efforts, with most violations being addressed and closed appropriately.
