150 Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 7-story, 42-unit residential building at 150 Johnson Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Aarit Blav and constructed in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and ventilation systems, over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2025, including at least one violation issued in February 2025, and concerning mold issues reported in multiple units during 2024-2025, with violations noted in November 2024.

While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing no infestations, the property has faced challenges with the elevator system, as indicated by multiple complaints and a currently active ECB violation (as of February 2024) related to installation and maintenance issues with associated equipment. The building's current open violations, as of November 2024, include concerns about a self-closing door mechanism on the 7th floor terrace and temperature regulation in Apartment 703, along with safety equipment compliance issues in that unit.

Previous violations from 2023 in Apartment 506 encompassed multiple safety concerns, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, ventilation systems, and ceiling surfaces in various rooms. While building management has generally responded to HPD inspections, both heating system issues and mold concerns have persisted over multiple reporting periods. The property has demonstrated some proactive maintenance through rodent inspections in 2022, though earlier results in mid-2022 indicated rat activity.
