183 Ainslie Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 8-unit residential building at 183 Ainslie Street in Williamsburg, owned by Charles Schwartz, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several notable events throughout its relatively short history. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were reports of water leakage and damp spots, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations. The building has undergone multiple inspections by the Department of Buildings (DOB), with varying outcomes - including some concerning safety issues during construction.

In early 2021, the building faced several violations, including one for working contrary to a Stop Work Order and for inadequate safety measures, though these were ultimately resolved. A more recent violation from April 2023 regarding facade maintenance was dismissed after repairs were completed. The construction period (2019-2020) saw multiple compliance issues, including problems with scaffolding, safety netting, and construction documentation, which prompted several Environmental Control Board violations, though most carried no penalty.

The property has maintained a clean bill of health regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, according to the most recent filings through 2024. The building was properly permitted and inspected during construction, with various permits issued between 2019-2021 for different aspects of the work. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues since opening, particularly related to plumbing and water systems, inspections have generally found conditions to be within acceptable limits, with no ongoing violations as of the most recent inspections. The history shows a typical pattern for new construction, where initial occupancy often reveals various new construction-related issues that require attention, though most recent complaints have been promptly addressed and resolved.
