93 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, two-family house at 93 Montrose Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Isaac Pollak and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in mid-2023, concerns were raised about the building's structural integrity, with reports of bulging and cracking in the exterior wall between the second and third floors, particularly affecting the west side of the building. This situation was significant enough to warrant a request for a professional engineering report, though initial inspections did not cite any violations for this condition.

Additionally, there is an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection. The building has a documented history of heat and water issues, dating back to 2019 when two separate complaints were filed regarding the entire building's heating and hot water systems, resulting in some violations. More recent complaints from September 2021 involved ceiling paint/plaster and mold issues, though these were closed without any violations being issued.

Earlier violations requiring attention included inadequate heat supply to Unit 2 (second story), water temperature issues, problems with ceiling conditions in the public hall, and several maintenance items including repairs to brickwork and fire-retardant materials. The building passed a rodent inspection in July 2018. While some of these issues have been resolved, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent structural questions raised in 2023 and the outstanding violation regarding the 2020 inspection.
