187 Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

187 Johnson Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 2018 and currently owned by Asher Paskes. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning occurring in early 2025, when both plumbing (water supply) and electrical (power outage) emergencies were reported within the same timeframe.

In August 2024, multiple violations were documented, particularly affecting the 4th-floor apartment (4F), including problems with water leaks, mold, and various maintenance issues like door and ceiling conditions. These violations, along with others relating to unsanitary conditions and paint/plaster issues, were issued during an inspection on August 19, 2024. The building's construction phase in 2018-2019 encountered several enforcement actions, including multiple stop-work orders and numerous violations related to construction safety and compliance.

During this period, violations were recorded for failure to provide proper inspection access, maintain site cleanliness, and comply with safety requirements, though these were all ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug issues, with no infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and passed rodent inspections in late 2018, though there was noted rat activity during an initial inspection in November 2018. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with water systems and building envelope integrity, as evidenced by repeated complaints and violations related to water leaks, mold, and plumbing issues.
