150 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 150 Manhattan Avenue building is a 4-story, 3-unit old law tenement constructed in 1921 and currently owned by 150 Manhattan LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in multiple complaints throughout 2024, most notably with emergency complaints filed in March 2024 for both apartment-specific and building-wide heating problems. These complaints resulted in open violations regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in the third-story apartment.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, including a notable period of heating system problems in 2022, when violations were issued for inadequate heat supply. Recent inspections in 2024 have revealed additional open violations in apartment 3 concerning defective self-closing doors and inadequate gas supply to the cooking range. The building's safety systems have also faced scrutiny, with emergency violations recorded in 2022 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that were subsequently addressed.

Recent concerns about electrical systems have emerged, with complaints about defective/exposed wiring filed in late 2023, though inspections resulted in no violations being warranted at the time. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting with no infestations reported in recent years. Of particular note is an active ECB violation from September 2023 concerning unauthorized outdoor electrical installations, with an $800 penalty currently imposed. While the building has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, as evidenced by multiple permits issued since 2018, recurring issues with basic utilities and safety systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
