287 Powers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 20-unit, 4-story converted dwelling at 287 Powers Street in East Williamsburg, built in 1950 and currently owned by Ari Koth, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints (five in total) about inadequate heat and hot water during winter months, with some inspections being unable to gain access to apartments for verification.
More recently, in 2025, there were rodent sightings reported, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's subsequent inspection found no violations. The building has also been subject to rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though a July 2025 inspection passed. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in all annual filings from 2020 through 2024.
Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were noted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024, though these violations were subsequently closed. Additionally, in early 2020, there were several environmental control board violations related to training compliance and safety card maintenance for construction workers, which were resolved with a penalty of $5,000. The building has documented permits issued for plumbing and general work in 2019, indicating active management of building maintenance and improvements.
