211 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit, three-story building at 211 Meserole Street in Williamsburg, owned by Colleen Veliz and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2021. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and violations issued, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (3R), which faced issues with pests (roaches and mice), an inoperable intercom system, and missing or malfunctioning smoke detectors.

The building also had a radiator plumbing issue, and several safety concerns regarding door self-closing mechanisms. While these problems were eventually addressed and closed, as evidenced by certifications in December 2021, they indicate a period of significant maintenance challenges. More recently, the building has demonstrated improved compliance with housing regulations, with no reported infestations or significant violations since 2022, as shown in the bedbug reporting records from 2022 through 2025, which indicate zero infested or eradicated units.

The most recent housing maintenance code violation from March 2023 was related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though this appears to have been a documentation issue rather than a pest control concern. The building has passed recent rodent inspections, with no rat activity reported, suggesting improved pest control conditions compared to previous years. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of urgent (emergency) and non-emergency complaints, with the majority being promptly addressed, though some 311 service requests for inspections in 2021 resulted in closed cases due to lack of access.
