259 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The two-family house at 259 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Nrl Urf LLC, is a 1920s property that has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in early 2021, there were heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, which were complicated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection.
Additionally, there were rodent-related concerns, with reports in 2020 and 2021 showing at least two rat sightings, though the property passed a subsequent health inspection in May 2021. More recent history reveals ongoing infrastructure concerns, with a plumbing issue in 2018 that resulted in a Full Stop Work Order and a DOB violation regarding the revocation of plumbing approvals due to a suspended master plumber's license.
As of March 2025, there is an active electrical wiring complaint regarding defective/exposed wiring, which has been referred to the Department of Transportation. While some issues have been resolved, including the closure of the 2021 heat/hot water complaint and the passing of the 2021 rodent inspection, the property continues to show patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly with its plumbing and electrical systems.
