143 Skillman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 143 Skillman Avenue building, located in Williamsburg, is an 8-story, 19-unit Class A residential structure built in 2011, currently owned by Darek Konefal. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and violation issues in recent years, with particular attention required for water-related problems. As of July 2025, there are multiple open violations from 2024 regarding water leak issues in apartment 7A, along with problems related to garbage/recycling storage and pest control noted in multiple 311 complaints throughout 2025.

The building has three active Environmental Control Board violations related to critical maintenance requirements: one for not submitting the required 9A exterior wall report (issued December 2022, $6,250 penalty), another from 2020 regarding an inoperable boiler (issued November 2020, $625 penalty), and one from 2018 for a similar exterior wall report issue (issued May 2018, $1,250 penalty). Recent service requests have primarily focused on door/window issues and sanitation concerns, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage conditions in April 2025. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with doors/windows, plumbing fixtures, and wall surfaces requiring attention.

Open violations from 2024 include issues with a water leak and damaged plaster in apartment 7A, while apartment 4C has a violation regarding a defective kitchen cabinet door. The building's systems have also faced scrutiny, with emergency complaints about doors and various plumbing issues documented between January and April 2025. While many recent complaints have been closed following HPD inspections, it's notable that the observed conditions did not typically violate housing laws, though residents have reported ongoing maintenance concerns through various channels.
