182 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

This three-story, five-unit tenement building at 182 Meserole Street in Williamsburg, owned by Joshua Wagschal, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning several years, with particular concern over the past two years. Most recently, in July 2023, the building experienced issues with pests and flooring conditions that were marked as unsanitary, though inspectors were unable to gain access for examination.

The building has also faced recurring access issues during inspections in March 2022 related to the intercom system and door problems. A significant past violation from 2017 noted a roof leak affecting the ceiling in unit 3R, while two 1991 violations concerned illegal occupancy and alteration modifications, specifically decreasing from 9 to 6 units and converting a ground floor store to an apartment, which required the owner to file proper plans and obtain an occupancy certificate. The property has consistently maintained a pest-free environment, with annual bedbug reports since 2019 showing zero infested units and eradication cases.

Rodent inspections between 2011 and 2016 showed active management, with multiple bait applications, though there were several instances of failed compliance inspections, particularly in early 2016. The building's age and maintenance record suggest that while some systems have required attention, particularly access-related issues and certain renovation compliance matters, the property has generally been able to address major health concerns promptly. The most pressing current issues appear to be related to access for inspections and the need for proper maintenance of common areas, as evidenced by the recent flooring and pest complaints in mid-2023.
