247 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

247 Manhattan Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building in Williamsburg owned by Gladys Rodriguez and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water services throughout 2025, with a particularly concentrated series of complaints from January through April 2025, resulting in multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) emergency service requests and inspections.

While some of these complaints were resolved with confirmation of repairs, others saw inspectors unable to gain access for verification. The building also had four consecutive Annual Bedbug Report violations from 2021 to 2024, though recent filings indicate no current or recent infestation issues, with the most recent report (for the period ending October 2023) showing zero infested units and successful eradication with no re-infestations noted.

The property has been proactive in addressing bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing (July 2024) covering the 2022-2023 period showing compliance, though there were several months of violation notices between 2021-2023 requiring the annual report submission. The heat and hot water complaints represent the most significant ongoing issue for the building, with the most recent complaints as of April 2025 still showing unresolved conditions requiring further inspection or access for repairs. These service requests have involved multiple instances of tenants reporting problems, HPD inspections, and varying levels of access for verification of conditions, suggesting ongoing challenges with building-wide heating infrastructure or maintenance response.
