129 Boerum Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 129 Boerum Street in Williamsburg, built in 1920 and currently owned by 129 Boerum Realty Corp, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The most significant recurring problems have been related to heating systems, with emergency complaints filed in both December 2020 and October 2018 regarding insufficient heat and hot water throughout the entire building; while the 2018 incident resulted in an inspection with no violations, the 2020 complaint could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building has also faced multiple regulatory challenges, including four active violations as of June 2023 related to failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2021. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2018, including a pest infestation (termites in the kitchen of apartment 1R), a door issue in the same apartment, and multiple safety-related concerns that remain open from March 2018, such as the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, building registration number, street number, and gas leak procedures in common areas.

An inspection in April 2018 noted a maintenance issue in apartment 3R regarding a defective bathtub drain stopper. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a clean record in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units and successful eradication of any past infestations. While these violations and service requests indicate some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and regulatory compliance, the building has shown improvement in pest control management over recent years.
