126 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 126 Withers Street in Williamsburg, owned by Edward Zylka, has been subject to several maintenance and safety concerns over the past few years, with particular attention needed to appliance issues. Most notably, there have been two separate complaints in late 2022 regarding electric/gas range problems that remained unresolved due to inspection access issues, with these complaints closing in August 2023.

The building experienced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in July 2021, including problems with self-closing doors in apartment 1R, a defective fire escape drop ladder, and issues with a stationary iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening. During 2019-2020, the property underwent work under Alternate Job #320896170, resulting in two ECB violations for non-compliance with approved construction documents - though one of these violations had a $1,250 penalty that appears to be resolved.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings from 2018 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there have been several complaints logged with the Department of Buildings between 2018 and 2022 regarding construction work and compliance audits, all were found to have no violations warranting concern at the time of inspection. The building's permit history shows consistent activity with four separate emergency work permits issued between August 2020 and December 2021 under job number 340750155, indicating regular maintenance and emergency response procedures being followed.
