153 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

153 Withers Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by 153 Withers Holdings LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concern being multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018-2024, and one violation from 2019 regarding the annual boiler inspection that remains open.

The property has a documented history of various maintenance complaints in 2019, including heating issues, floor and ceiling problems, and multiple instances of mold (classified as emergency conditions) for which HPD was unable to gain access for inspections. These complaints led to several class A and B violations, particularly affecting apartment 3R, involving bathroom tile repair, kitchen vinyl floor issues, plaster and paint repairs, window frame problems, and multiple safety concerns such as electric wiring, door self-closing mechanisms, and the need for carbon monoxide detectors. The building's recent bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or related issues since 2021, with the last reported inspection period (2023-2024) indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management in recent years.

However, the accumulation of active violations regarding low pressure inspections dating back to 2018 through 2023 raises concerns about the building's compliance with safety requirements. While most historical maintenance issues appear to have been resolved, the pattern of unfiled inspections from 2018-2024 and the 2019 heating complaint indicate potential ongoing maintenance oversight. The building's violation history shows a pattern of addressing issues when they are identified, as evidenced by the certification of multiple violations in 2019, though the recent inspection violations suggest some regulatory requirements may not have been consistently met.
