Augrented Insights Report for 185 Meserole Street

185 Meserole Street is a 5-story, 29-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ari Koth. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern over water-related problems. Most recently, in August 2023, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold, as well as heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building.

Throughout 2022-2023, multiple water leak complaints were filed, including slow leaks and heavy flow incidents, with some violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Apartment 16 on the 4th floor has required multiple repairs as indicated by violations from August 2023, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water leaks, and damaged plastered surfaces. The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with several complaints recorded between 2022-2023, including emergencies in April 2022 and July 2023.

Additionally, there have been inspections regarding fire safety concerns, particularly in 2024 when violations were noted regarding fire escape obstruction and boiler room conditions. The property has shown consistent challenges with building maintenance requirements, including multiple instances of unsatisfactory conditions involving plaster surfaces, window and door issues, and pest control matters. While recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required to address various building system needs. Notably, the building experienced rat activity and required multiple bait applications for rodent control in 2019, as recorded in inspection reports.
