184 Jackson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

184 Jackson Street is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building constructed in 1928 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Joann Criscuolo. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly notable during a cluster of complaints in February 2022 where multiple inspections were unable to gain access to units, though some violations were subsequently issued. The property has three open violations from April 2022, primarily affecting apartment 1L, including issues with self-closing doors and concerns about excessive hot water temperatures.

Previous violations from 2021 pointed to problems with the building's intercom system, with violations issued in September 2021 and October 2021 regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system and door closure mechanisms. More recent inspections show no active bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), with consistent records showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building passed a rodent inspection in April 2021, and while there was one rodent complaint in January 2021, it was noted that inspectors could not access the property to conduct their investigation.

The property has had various maintenance issues documented over the years, including problems with self-closing doors in multiple locations and the need for proper signage regarding heating system access, though many historical violations have been closed through subsequent repairs or compliance actions. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to building systems and access issues, though more recent records show an absence of significant pest-related problems. The grouped nature of the heating system complaints in early 2022, followed by subsequent violations, indicates that this period was particularly problematic for residents regarding basic utilities.
