194 Humboldt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
194 Humboldt Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ari Koth and located in Williamsburg. The building has experienced a series of recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024, with particular concern regarding water-related problems, including both a slow leak reported in September 2024 and multiple water-related violations from May 2024. The property has also faced significant pest control challenges, with eight separate rodent-related complaints filed between June and September 2024, including multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though a rodent inspection in May 2024 had passed.
Apartment 1L has received particular attention from inspectors, with multiple violations issued in August-September 2024 related to water damage, pest infestations (both mice and roaches), and various maintenance issues including broken plaster surfaces and a loose light fixture. Other notable violations include problems with vestibule door self-closing mechanisms and latches, which have been documented multiple times in 2024. The building has maintained an active but generally stable history with regard to bedbug management, with consistent reports showing zero infested units for the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024.
Past issues have included an emergency mold complaint in May 2024 and various door/window-related problems. Historical records show routine pest control efforts in the form of bait applications in 2010 and a rodent inspection in 2011, with documented rat activity at that time. A single complaint regarding illegal after-hours work was filed in 2018 but resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. While the property has shown responsiveness to violations being closed upon correction, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly during 2024, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention.
