179 Maujer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
179 Maujer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 in Williamsburg, currently owned by 179 Maujer USA LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably an active violation as of September 2024 for failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023.
Recent health concerns include a rat sighting in June 2025, with follow-up inspections pending from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A cluster of complaints and violations emerged in 2022, including temporary heating and hot water issues in March, various maintenance concerns in May (including signage issues, gutter problems, electrical lighting, skylight concerns, and garbage storage), and two B-class violations regarding obstructed fire escape egress from both the 3rd and 4th stories, though these were certified as corrected by July 2022. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic compliance, with no reported incidents of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024.
However, the property management's pattern of rat activity, with inspections showing recurring issues in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, and most recently in 2025, raises ongoing concerns about pest management. The building has had three emergency violations requiring immediate attention (one regarding ceiling paint/plaster, and two related to heat/hot water systems), and multiple non-emergency issues that necessitated filing of Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. While most of these issues appear to have been addressed, the pattern of repeated violations regarding low pressure inspection filings and pest activity suggests ongoing oversight challenges.
