147 Meserole Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 147 Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Elizabeth Czauderna and constructed in 1930, has maintained relatively stable conditions over recent years. Notably, the building has had consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings between 2021 and 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management.

However, the building experienced a significant mechanical issue in early 2024, when a complaint regarding a defective boiler led to an Environmental Control Board violation involving improper steam control piping, an inaccessible chimney base for inspection, and incorrect hot water heater safety discharge piping, resulting in a $312 penalty (though records indicate this has been resolved). The building has undergone regular inspections, with housing maintenance code violations primarily related to annual bedbug report filings in 2021-2023, all of which have since been resolved. Historical rodent inspections show three assessments between 2011 and 2013, with the only detection of rat activity occurring in October 2011, though subsequent inspections passed without issue.

Looking at the broader picture, the building's recent history (2023-2025) shows no major resident safety concerns beyond the boiler violation, and its pest management record is particularly strong, with no reported infestations in any apartment units over the past five years. The property has demonstrated compliance with most housing maintenance code requirements, with only occasional administrative violations that have been promptly addressed. While the building is listed under the "Old Law Tenement" classification, which typically includes pre-1938 walk-up apartment buildings, it has shown reasonable maintenance and management practices in recent years, with particular attention paid to pest control and regulatory compliance.
