197 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 197 Withers Street in Williamsburg, owned by Antonio Pasquariello, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property had a rat sighting reported in June 2022, which led to follow-up inspections revealing rodent activity in July 2022, though subsequent compliance inspections in September 2022 showed passed results. A significant cluster of violations was recorded during a June 2023 inspection, including failures to post essential safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration requirements in the first story public hall.
The building also had violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in March 2022 which spanned multiple years until finally being addressed in April 2024. Historical records from 1997 and 1989 reveal past issues with door self-closing mechanisms and fire egress safety, both of which were resolved by March 2023. Recent records indicate improved conditions regarding pest control, with the building filing bedbug reports for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 periods showing zero infested units, and compliance inspections for rodent activity showing no recent violations after the initial rat sightings in 2022.
As of 2024, the building still has some open violations from 2023 regarding safety signage requirements, though there has been consistent filing of annual bedbug reports showing no current infestations. The most recent housing maintenance inspections from April 2024 indicate at least one outstanding violation related to annual bedbug reporting requirements. Overall, while the building has experienced multiple safety and maintenance issues over the past years, recent records show improvements in pest management, though some safety signage requirements remain unaddressed.
