155 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

155 Meserole Street is a 12-unit, 6-story old law tenement building constructed in 1920 in Williamsburg and currently owned by 155 Meserole LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding both mold and elevator safety. In 2018, an emergency situation arose concerning mold infestation in Apartment 1B, which was documented by both the Housing Preservation Department and the Housing Maintenance Code, with a subsequent violation issued requiring repairs to address mold on the ceiling and walls.

More recently, the building has faced elevator-related concerns, including a Category 5 inspection failure noted in December 2021 and a 2019 violation for an emergency phone repair, expired brake maintenance data tag, and missing elevator maintenance log. While the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 have consistently shown 0 infested dwelling units, the elevator issues persisted as an active violation, with inspections from 2017 through 2019 documenting various elevator defects. The building has experienced periodic rodent-related concerns, with multiple rat sightings reported in 2021, though follow-up inspections passed with only minor violations noted.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since then, with initial inspections in 2021 and 2017 both passing. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was investigated in 2024, though access was denied during the inspection. While some historical violations have been resolved, including previous Housing Maintenance Code violations, there remain active concerns regarding the building's elevator system, as evidenced by the ongoing violation for failure to perform required inspections dating back to 2021. The building has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no recorded infestations in recent years.
