155A Ainslie Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

155A Ainslie Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Dorota Myszko. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple complaints regarding pests, particularly in the summer of 2020 when there were six separate pest-related complaints between June 12-19.

The building faced significant maintenance challenges in 2020-2021, including a concerning period in January 2021 involving both a heat/hot water complaint and unsanitary conditions related to pests, neither of which could be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Violations of particular note include accessibility issues for egress in Basement Apartment 1, and various habitability concerns such as mold in the bathroom tiles, broken ceramic tiles, and problems with a decorative metal ceiling that required repairs or repainting. In recent years, particularly from 2022 onward, there have been improvements in the property's maintenance record.

The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showing zero infested units. As of July 2025, three open violations remain, primarily related to safety concerns in Basement Apartment 1, including issues with smoke detector functionality/installation and other maintenance matters. The property has shown some regularity in filing annual bedbug reports, with each of the last four filings (2021-2025) indicating no infestations, though it is worth noting that multiple previous violations were issued between 2020-2021 related to various maintenance issues, including ceiling and wall conditions in the same apartment.
