127 Thames Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 8-unit, 4-story building at 127 Thames Street in Williamsburg, owned by Zal Pollak and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly between 2023 and 2025. The property has documented ongoing pest issues, with a recent unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests in April 2025 and rat sightings in April 2024, though HPD inspectors did not find violations in the 2025 inspection. Between December 2023 and June 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, as well as various maintenance concerns including door frames, electrical wiring, outlets, a slow water leak, and flooring conditions.
The most notable cluster of issues occurred in 2024, particularly in apartment 4R, which received multiple violations for repairs needed on kitchen cabinets, ceilings, floors, and door frames. The building's maintenance history also includes several emergency complaints, such as a heat/hot water issue in April 2023 and various safety inspections. Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 indicate problems with construction safety and housekeeping during renovation work, including a violation for inadequate tenant protection plans, excessive dust in hallways, and construction garbage blocking exits.
The property has experienced repeated rodent issues, with inspections showing rat activity as recently as 2024. While the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2025), the ongoing maintenance violations and repeated pest complaints suggest persistent challenges with building upkeep. The most recent building inspection violations from 2024 include requirements for certificate of inspection placement in the first story public hall and removal of bicycle encumbrances from the 3rd story hall.
