236 Powers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

This three-story, six-unit tenement building in Williamsburg, owned by Janet Giuliani and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent concerns about pest control, with multiple pest-related complaints between 2019 and 2022, including an open emergency complaint from August 2019 that remained unresolved as of the most recent housing inspection. The building also faced significant safety concerns in late 2019 with violations in apartment 2R regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently addressed.

During 2021, there was a cluster of maintenance complaints related to various building systems, including electrical wiring, stairs, and interior surfaces, but inspections found no violations. A sewage odor complaint was reported in late 2022. More recent records show the building has been maintaining compliance with major safety requirements, including an up-to-date bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period indicating no infested units.

However, there was a boiler room access sign violation in May 2022 that resulted in a $250 penalty. The property has had consistent annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with the most recent records showing no current infestations or re-infestations. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various systems and structures, though many past issues have been resolved through inspection and correction processes.
