141 Meserole Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

141 Meserole Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and owned by Silvia Bravo. Built in 1928, this old-law tenement building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns emerging between late 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple HPD inspections resulting in violations for flooring issues, pest infestations, and water leaks, along with an emergency door concern.

The building has several open violations from September 2024, including problems with fire-rated doors, ceiling repairs, and the presence of pests in at least one unit (Apartment 3R). Between September and November 2024, multiple inspection attempts were made for various issues including door/window problems, paint/plaster concerns, and sewage issues, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The building's maintenance record shows some recurring problems, particularly in Apartment 3R, which had documented issues including water leaks, pest infestations, repair needs for plaster surfaces, and window problems as of July 2024.

There have been three complaints about egress problems in early 2025, though inspections found no violations in two cases, with insufficient information in one instance. The building's systems have also faced scrutiny, with complaints about plumbing and water flow issues in 2024-2025, though inspections did not always result in confirmed violations. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to annual filings since 2019, rodent inspections in 2022 noted rat activity. Additionally, a current open violation exists for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation as of September 2024.
