125 Thames Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 125 Thames Street in Williamsburg, owned by Joseph Kanner and built in 1920, has experienced several concerning maintenance and health issues in recent months.
Most notably, there have been multiple rat sightings and confirmed rodent activity during inspections in May and June 2024, with initial and compliance inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documenting violations that require follow-up inspections. The building has also faced significant challenges in April 2024, with multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work and safety concerns, including electrical wiring issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits.
While the property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases of infested or eradicated units in the annual reports submitted from 2021 through 2024, the recent rodent issues and access problems for inspections suggest emerging maintenance concerns. The building's housing maintenance code violation from 2021 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report was marked as closed, though this was during a period when no infestations were documented.
