The 7-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 199 Johnson Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Bing Du, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in late 2024 and into 2025. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection of Apartment 4, including problems with windows, floors, walls, ceilings, and safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced various complaints in 2024 and 2025 regarding electrical lighting issues, plumbing problems, and general maintenance needs, though some of these complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. Two emergency flooring complaints were filed in October 2024, and there were multiple non-emergency complaints about walls, windows, cabinets, and doors during the same period. While the building has a history of rodent activity, as evidenced by rat inspections in 2022 and 2015, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2025 indicating zero affected units. The property has had consistent issues with maintenance access, as seen in multiple complaints where inspectors were unable to gain entry to perform necessary inspections, resulting in those complaints being closed without resolution.
