156 Ainslie Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-story, 5-unit tenement building at 156 Ainslie Street in Williamsburg, owned by John Nunziata and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting apartment 3. As of April 2024, there is an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, and between April-May 2023, the building underwent multiple inspections revealing various health and safety concerns.

Notable issues documented in 2023 included mold problems (upgraded to Class B status), a notable cockroach infestation, multiple repairs needed for walls and ceilings, and outdated infrastructure including an old rusted kitchen sink and unauthorized modifications in various rooms. While some violations have been closed, including those related to plaster surfaces and multiple infestation issues, several remain open concerning unauthorized alterations, including a suspended ceiling in the kitchen and wood paneling in the kitchen wall.

The building has been subject to regular bedbug report filings for the 2019-2022 period with no documented infestations, suggesting some successful pest management. A historical complaint from 2020 regarding illegal conversion was marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." The property has a mixed history of maintenance compliance, with significant improvements needed in recent years to address various health and safety concerns, particularly in the 3rd-floor apartment which has been the focus of multiple violations and maintenance requests. The most recent 311 service request in April 2023 for paint/plaster issues was inspected and closed with no violations found.
