129 Thames Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
129 Thames Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Zal Pollak. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent requiring attention being a mold complaint in March 2025, which was investigated by HPD but did not result in any housing law violations.
Other notable recent issues include a rodent sighting in April 2024 that resulted in a violation requiring follow-up inspections, and emergency complaints in 2022-2023 regarding heat/hot water and door issues that were resolved through HPD verification of corrections. The building's inspection history shows multiple violations between 2016-2023, including various forms of water damage and maintenance issues in apartments 1L, 1R, and 2R, as well as problems with fire safety materials and sheetrock.
The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating successful management of this potential issue. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a rat activity finding in May 2024 and previous compliance passing in 2016, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. Historical violations from the 1980s relating to a skylight screen and unauthorized alterations were finally certified as corrected in January 2023, including issues with removed doors and a sealed dumbwaiter shaft.
