211 Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

211 Johnson Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg and owned by Igli Jaupi. The property, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heating and water system issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water between February and March of that year, including emergency situations. While some of these complaints were resolved or closed following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), others could not be verified due to access issues.

A water leak was also reported and inspected in February 2025, resulting in violations being issued. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests in July 2023 (which were investigated with no violations found), and an intercom system problem in October 2023. Additionally, there is an open violation from April 2024 related to the requirement to file an annual bedbug report, though previous filings from 2020 to 2023 indicated no infestation issues during those periods.

The property has undergone rodent control inspections between 2017 and 2019, with several instances of rat activity recorded in late 2019, while earlier inspections from 2018 and 2017 had passed. A significant violation was issued in 2019 regarding inadequate hot water supply to a specific apartment, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's heating system has been a persistent concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2025. Despite these issues, the apartment has maintained an overall record of addressing complaints, with most being investigated and closed through HPD procedures, though some recent heating complaints remain a point of particular concern for residents.
