247 Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 247 Johnson Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Miriam Yavo, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular attention needed on the heating system. Most notably, there were two heating system complaints in 2023 (October, entire building; January 2025, apartment-only), with the October 2023 incident showing no violations despite the lack of heat when inspected. The building has been subject to various other maintenance issues, including violations for door/window problems (February 2023), flooring concerns (November 2022), and paint/plaster issues (2019).

A series of violations were recorded in October 2023 related to building maintenance, including requirements for fire escape maintenance, waste collection signage, and heating system access information. Additionally, there is an active violation for failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection documents from April 2023. The building's recent history shows some concerning trends, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues.

Multiple complaints about heating system problems have been filed, though some of these incidents were not substantiated during inspections. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024). In 2025, there were complaints about indoor air quality ventilation issues and food establishment permit violations, both of which were closed by the relevant authorities. While the building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly relating to heating systems and various building code compliance matters, it's worth noting that most recent violations from 2023/2024 appear to have been addressed or reached final disposition, with the exception of the April 2023 low-pressure inspection violation.
