115 Powers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 115 Powers Street in Williamsburg, currently owned by 115 Powers Street LLC, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The most concerning incidents include a 2022 indoor air quality complaint related to construction dust that prompted a DOHMH advisory, and multiple unsanitary condition complaints in 2019 regarding pests, including at least one instance of missing building signage that resulted in official violations. The building's maintenance record shows particular attention to pest management, with the Housing Preservation and Development Department conducting multiple inspections in June 2019, though no violations were issued in these cases.

While there were two complaints in 2022 regarding work without a permit, inspections resulted in no violations being warranted. The property has shown positive developments in recent years, particularly in terms of pest management, with the bedbug reporting system indicating zero infested dwellings for the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. An April 2021 violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports was noted, though this appears to have been resolved.

The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since a rat activity report in September 2018 was followed by a passing inspection in October 2018. A current open violation from June 2019 remains concerning, noting issues with providing ready access to the building's heating system in the basement. The building's most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2024, shows consistent zero infestation reports across all categories, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented.
