38 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

38 Meserole Street is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, completed in 2008 and currently owned by David Grosvenor. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over its history, with the most significant recent concerns relating to elevator safety.

Between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding elevator inspections, including failures to perform required Category 5 inspections and unresolved defects from a 2017 inspection, though these violations were ultimately resolved in March 2022 through intervention by Champion Elevator Corp. The property has also faced environmental violations, including a 2018 issue regarding rooftop obstructions that was resolved with no penalty, and a separate 2018 violation concerning non-conformance with approved construction documents related to HVAC unit installation, which incurred a $1,250 penalty that has been paid.

More recently, there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2022 regarding the filing of an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been an administrative oversight rather than a health concern. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent bedbug record since 2020, with all annual reports (most recently filed in December 2023) indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building has undergone two Professional Certification Compliance Audits in 2018 and 2019, with the 2018 inspection resulting in violations that were promptly addressed.
