166 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 4-story, 5-unit building at 166 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Aron Gumbu and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with emergency heat and hot water complaints lodged with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in both November 2022 (affecting the entire building) and January 2019 (affecting an individual apartment), though in both cases tenants reported that the problems were resolved by the time of inspection.
More concerning are the recent structural and safety concerns noted in 2024, including a period of building shaking/vibrating and the building being placed under structural monitoring in July 2024, followed by complaints regarding unlicensed work in September 2024. The Department of Buildings has active violations as of October 2024 for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations and for failure to maintain the building, with additional regulatory requirements for the owner to submit a report addressing all conditions.
Prior violations include a defective boiler issue in January 2023, and missed inspection filings for both the 2022 external low-pressure and 2017 boiler inspections. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past three reporting periods from late 2022 through mid-2025, with no reported infestations or eradications.
