150 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 4-story, 5-unit tenement building at 150 Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Abraham Buxbaum and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in 2023, there were violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for both 2021 and 2022, though these were subsequently dismissed. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2015 and 2022, including two rat sightings in 2022 that resulted in Department of Health violations requiring follow-up inspections.

In 2018, the second-floor Apartment 2 experienced multiple maintenance issues including water leaks, ceiling problems, and the need for plaster repairs, which were classified as violations under various housing maintenance codes. This unit also required a carbon monoxide detector installation. The building had a temporary mold issue in 2018 (with four separate investigations), though no violations were issued in these cases.

Of particular note is the fire escape safety concern identified in late 2018, which required replacement of a defective drop ladder. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations or eradications since at least 2023, and the most recent bedbug report filing shows zero affected units for the 2024-2025 period. While there have been periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, records indicate most have been properly addressed through inspections and violations, with particular attention to rodent control measures continuing to be a focus of building operations.
