172 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, eight-unit apartment building at 172 Meserole Street in Williamsburg, owned by Chaim Cohen and constructed in 2004, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been two heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2022, with the most recent occurring in November 2024, though in all cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspection.

A significant cluster of concerns emerged in early 2023, including three separate complaints about construction dust affecting indoor air quality, followed by an asbestos-related issue. More recently, in 2024, the building faced multiple violations involving unit 4A, including problems with roof leaks, mold, and required painting work, though these violations are reported as having been certified for correction between May and June 2024.

The building's maintenance history also reveals some electrical infrastructure challenges, particularly evident during a power outage incident in July 2022, which generated two separate emergency complaints. While the property shows no recent bedbug issues (with the last five annual bedbug reports indicating zero infestations), rodent inspections from 2011 recorded failures, suggesting past pest control challenges. The building has maintained reasonable compliance with housing maintenance codes, with violations generally being addressed and certified as corrected, though the pattern of repeated heat/hot water issues and various maintenance complaints indicates ongoing infrastructure and systems challenges that require regular attention.
