111 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 5-unit, 3-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 111 Kingsland Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Eden Ashourzadeh, has experienced persistent water-related issues, particularly in the past year. Between 2023-2025, there have been multiple complaints and emergency service requests related to water leaks, with the most recent heavy flow leak complaints filed in April 2025.

A concerning pattern has emerged in Apartment 3R, with multiple open violations as of October 2024 indicating problems with the ceiling's plaster and paint, smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, as well as concerns about defective ceramic tiles and roof leaks affecting multiple rooms and the bathroom. The building has undergone various inspections revealing violations in 2019-2020, including electrical and plumbing issues, with two active ECB violations (as of 2019) related to electrical systems that could pose safety concerns. Recent maintenance patterns show ongoing emergency responses to water supply and access issues, with the most recent violations including roof and water supply problems.

The building's history shows a mix of compliance and violations from regulatory bodies, including multiple failed rodent inspections in 2017, though no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past eight years, indicating effective pest management. While the property has maintained a bedbug-free status from 2018 to present, the frequency and nature of recent water-related issues, particularly heavy flow leaks, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent batch of complaints and violations in 2024-2025 suggest these water-related problems continue to affect resident quality of life, though some earlier violations from 2019-2020 have been resolved, including an environmental control board violation regarding inadequate housekeeping that resulted in a $6,250 penalty.
