16 Stagg Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 11-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement at 16 Stagg Street in Williamsburg, owned by Ben Weiss, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2018, with the most pressing concerns emerging in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, a sewage-related unsanitary condition was reported and inspected by HPD, resulting in violations that required correction.
The building's heating and hot water systems have been problematic, with emergency complaints recorded in December 2023 and November 2019, suggesting ongoing concerns with basic utility maintenance. A December 2023 inspection revealed multiple safety violations in Apartment 2RF, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate heating, and hot water issues, though these were subsequently certified as corrected by December 14-15, 2023. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including water leak issues (August 2021), fire escape safety concerns (January 2019), and multiple instances of garbage/recycling storage problems (late 2018).
More recent inspections in August 2024 identified several open violations in Apartment 3LF, including mold issues, defective door hinges in the kitchen shower, and the need for proper painting. While rodent activity was documented in multiple inspections from 2018 to early 2019, the building has passed subsequent rodent inspections, and records from 2021 onward show no confirmed infestations. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units since 2021.
