144 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 144 Manhattan Avenue in Williamsburg, built in 1920 and currently owned by Moshe Wasserman, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over several years, with particularly notable rodent issues in recent months throughout 2025. Multiple 311 complaints between 2025 and 2024 have documented rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with Department of Health and Mental Hygiene involvement. The building has also faced significant sanitation issues, including reports of mold and unsanitary conditions in 2025 that prompted HPD inspections, though these inspections could not be completed.
Earlier complaints from 2021 documented multiple problems in apartment 2L, including issues with plaster surfaces, flooring, water leaks, and various safety concerns, though HPD inspections on 2021-07-21 found no violations. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 to 2024, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. More recent building management challenges include an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection report, and ongoing rat activity as confirmed by inspections in late 2023 through 2024.
The property has shown minimal responsiveness to certain HPD complaints, as evidenced by the inability to complete inspections in response to 2025 complaints about unsanitary conditions. While the building has regularly filed bedbug reports showing no infestations, the persistent rodent issues and recent violations related to inspection filings suggest ongoing management challenges. The most recent rodent activity findings from 2024 and 2025 indicate that despite some bait applications and inspections, the rodent problem remains unresolved.
