140 Frost Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

140 Frost Street is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Keqi Wei. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being a failure to provide unobstructed exit passageways observed in October 2023, where household items were blocking exits on the 2nd and 3rd floors, resulting in a $3,125 penalty. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, including multiple 311 complaints related to unsanitary conditions (both sewage and garbage-related), security system issues (buzzer/intercom), and heating/hot water problems, some of which resulted in HPD violations.

Notable violations from 2024 include mold conditions in the cellar and a lack of hot water in Apartment 1, though some of these issues were eventually corrected or closed. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance concerns, with multiple HPD complaints related to sewage, mold, and general unsanitary conditions between January and August 2024. Previous inspections from 2021 revealed various administrative violations regarding building posting requirements, though these were subsequently resolved.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past five years, with no reported infestations or cases since 2019. Four permits were issued between 2018 and 2019 for unspecified work, including electrical and plumbing permits, suggesting some ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. The building's most recent tenant safety inspection in 2023 did result in a violation being served, indicating ongoing regulatory scrutiny.
