803 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

803 Driggs Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Williamsburg, completed in 1910 and currently owned by Sam Lefkowitz. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2024, including complaints about lack of heat/hot water, plumbing issues, and flooring problems - all of which resulted in emergency HPD service requests.

Earlier issues, particularly during late 2023, involved unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and sewage problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building's systems have a history of heat and electrical problems, with emergency complaints filed in February 2022 for heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building and a power outage. The property underwent some structural work in 2019 that resulted in two violations for work without proper permits, specifically related to facade and parapet modifications, though these violations were later resolved.

Improvements have been made to address safety concerns, as evidenced by the 2022 inspection noting previous violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4, and various maintenance issues documented in violation notices. The building's management has consistently filed Bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2021, and while there were concerns about rat activity documented between 2015-2019, more recent inspections have shown compliance with rodent control requirements. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements through 2025, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods.
