236 Ainslie Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-unit residential building at 236 Ainslie Street in Williamsburg, owned by Israel Revivo, has a relatively recent history of safety and compliance issues, particularly in 2018. The three-story structure, built in 1930 and classified as a converted Class A building, experienced multiple violations and regulatory interactions during 2018, primarily concerning occupancy and door safety. During June 2018, multiple violations were issued regarding self-closing door requirements for three apartment units (including Apartments 1 and 3) and the need to clear encumbrances from public hallways on the third story.

These were accompanied by violations requiring the posting of important safety notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information, all of which were certified as corrected by July 2018. The building also faced occupancy-related issues, with the Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board noting concerns about unauthorized occupancy patterns, particularly involving a basement unit. While a plumbing complaint was filed in late 2018, this was resolved by January 2019, along with various other violations that were either dismissed or marked as resolved. More recent history shows improved compliance with health and safety requirements.

The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units during this period. The most recent bedbug report for the filing period ending October 31, 2024, indicated no infested or eradicated units. Building safety appears to have stabilized, with no major violations or complaints recorded since 2018, and all past violations have been formally closed or resolved. The property underwent some permitted work in late 2018 related to plumbing and exterior repairs, with permits properly issued and recorded.
