Augrented Insights Report for 53 Withers Street

The 8-unit, 3-story building at 53 Withers Street in Williamsburg, owned by Matthew Gelfand and constructed in 1928, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns being pest-related issues. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, including sightings of rodents and unsuccessful HPD inspections in April and February. Earlier records from 2024 show similar patterns, with additional complaints about mold, construction dust, and various ceiling repairs needed.

The building has two open violations as of July 2024 related to safety equipment in apartment 1L, including defective self-closing doors, smoke detector issues, and carbon monoxide detector problems. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing consistent evidence of infestation between 2019 and 2024. There were also complaints in 2024 regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, though inspections did not warrant violations.

Prior to the most recent filings, the building showed no bedbug infestations in its 2019, 2023, and 2025 reports, suggesting compliance with pest management requirements. Other notable issues have included ceiling repair needs and a 2023 heating emergency, though most recent complaints have centered around pest control and maintenance concerns. The building's violation history shows some recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, though all recent filings indicate no current infestations.
