177 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 177 Montrose Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Shlomo Kubitshuk, has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in October 2023, there were two door-related complaints that were quickly resolved, though one of the responses from HPD lacked detailed resolution information. A significant heat and hot water outage occurred in October 2020, with restoration confirmed by responding inspectors, while 2019 saw reports of rat sightings that were addressed through inspections, with initial rat activity confirmed but subsequently passed during compliance inspection.

Between 2020-2024, the building faced recurring issues with maintaining proper lighting at the entranceway, with multiple violations issued regarding inadequate lighting requirements being documented in 2013, 2015, and inspections in 2022-2023, though these were noted as certified by the Department of Buildings in 2023. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, showing zero infested units in the past four reporting periods. Recent inspections and complaints from 2023 indicated some concerns regarding electrical wiring and debris, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

There were also two violations issued in 2023 concerning failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2021 and 2022; however, these were eventually dismissed in January 2024. The building's history shows regular maintenance needs typical of older structures, with most issues being addressed promptly through appropriate channels. The property has maintained its classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" building, built in 1920, and continues to operate under the ownership of Shlomo Kubitshuk.
