137 Jackson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, 32-unit apartment building at 137 Jackson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Brandon Wechsler, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several notable incidents over its history. In June 2021, the building received multiple complaints requiring inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding fire escape safety, door issues, lighting problems, unsanitary garbage conditions, and missing signage. While most of these complaints were closed without violations, the missing signage resulted in documented violations.

More recently, in 2024, the building had four consecutive violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these were eventually closed. A partial stop work order was issued in March 2025 for work done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this was subsequently closed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2022 through 2024 shows consistent compliance, with multiple reports filed showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero instances of re-infestation during each reporting period.

This indicates effective pest management practices within the building. The most recent bedbug filings, in December 2024, cover the reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 and show similar results of no infestations. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, the prompt response to most complaints and the ongoing attention to bedbug reporting requirements suggest active property management. The current status as of July 2025 shows no open violations or major pending issues on record, though the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges requiring correction.
