178 Jackson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 178 Jackson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Joe Gerry Sna LLC, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges since at least 2020, with significant recent activity continuing into 2025. Most concerning is the building's current status regarding unsanitary conditions and pest management; a May 2025 complaint about pests resulted in an HPD inspection that could not be completed due to access issues, while a February 2025 complaint about rodent-attracting conditions resulted in documented violations.
The property has maintained a pattern of rodent activity, with compliance inspections in 2025 showing "Rat Activity." The building's infrastructure has also faced challenges, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues in 2020 and 2023, including a specific violation in April 2023 concerning non-functioning hot water in Apartment 3A. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections, with several violations documented and subsequently addressed.
In 2023, the building received multiple violations regarding building maintenance and safety, including issues with a fire-retardant wall, stairway maintenance, and a self-closing door mechanism. Although the building has had regular bedbug reporting requirements fulfilled between 2021 and 2025, showing "0" infested units in all reports, the persistent rodent issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 and February 2025 complaints indicate that while some improvements have been made, pest management remains an area requiring ongoing attention.
