41 Skillman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

41 Skillman Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Charles Schwartz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a complaint about pests, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.

The property has documented history of sanitation issues, including a mold violation issued in April 2024 affecting approximately 10 square feet on the west wall of the foyer in Apartment 1A, and an electrical issue involving an outlet/switch that went unresolved due to access problems in March 2024. Between 2019-2025, the building underwent multiple construction-related inspections and faced various compliance challenges. Notable incidents include an illegal conversion complaint in June 2025, previous construction work in 2021 that prompted multiple stop work orders and safety violations regarding scaffolding and construction site conditions, and a bedbug reporting period from 2022-2024 showing zero infestations.

The building has maintained satisfactory rodent inspection results, passing all inspections conducted in 2018 and 2019. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints over the years, including unsanitary conditions and various building safety issues, many of these have been resolved through inspections and subsequent corrections. The property has shown recent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings indicating no active infestations or eradication needs.
