194 Scholes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The five-story, eight-unit building at 194 Scholes Street in Williamsburg, owned by 194 Scholes, LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2025. The property has ongoing problems with air quality and ventilation, as evidenced by multiple Department of Health (DOHMH) complaints in 2025, and has faced repeated rodent infestations, with inspections in early 2025 confirming rat activity. There are significant building maintenance concerns, including unsanitary garbage storage, mold issues, and water leakage problems, particularly affecting the fourth-floor apartment (4F), which had documented water leak and mold violations (May 2024).
The building has also experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed by tenants. The property has a history of regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding construction work and safety violations in 2018-2019. Multiple violations were recorded during this period for unauthorized work during a stop-work order, failure to maintain safety measures, and construction-related hazards, resulting in financial penalties.
There was also a period of significant construction activity in 2018-2019, with various permits issued for work including electrical, plumbing, and general construction. While recent bedbug reports (2022-2023) show no infestations, the building continues to have rodent activity as of mid-2025, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The property has had consistent issues with water-related problems, including leaks and mold, though some complaints have been resolved through inspections, such as the March 2025 water leak complaint which was found not to violate housing laws.
