135 Meserole Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 5-story residential building at 135 Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Sam Wurzberger and constructed in 2007, has experienced notable maintenance issues over the past year. Between March and July 2024, multiple complaints were filed and addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including incidents of mold (both sanitary and unsanitary conditions), water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and paint/plaster problems involving walls. In April 2024, several violations were issued for Apartment 2, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, broken caulking around the bathtub, and defective plaster surfaces and paint in various locations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2020, with reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. A single boiler-related complaint was filed in March 2024 but was unsubstantiated upon inspection. Looking further back, historical records show the building has faced various challenges.

A 2023 inspection revealed multiple safety code violations in Apartment 2, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and window guards, along with a requirement to post gas leak procedures in the common area. The building has maintained a generally clean pest control record in recent years, with rodent inspections showing improvement since initial rat activity was noted in 2011. While recent months have seen multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, most complaints were addressed with inspections that found no violations, though some required official corrections to be certified. The building's bedbug and rodent reporting history indicates effective management of these specific concerns, with no documented infestations in recent years.
