142 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The five-story, eight-unit residential building at 142 Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Leo Weinstock, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the three emergency door-related complaints filed in early February 2025, all of which resulted in HPD being unable to complete inspections.

The building has also faced ongoing administrative challenges, with open violations related to BEDBUG REPORTING requirements for 2021-2024, representing a potential pattern of non-compliance with Health and Safety codes. Looking back further, there was a heat/hot water violation in February 2020 affecting apartment 1B, and a DOHMH complaint regarding an unlicensed tattoo artist in March 2019 that was eventually closed in early 2025. During the COVID-19 pandemic, in May 2020, the building was inspected in response to a complaint about compliance with Executive Orders, but no violations were found.

The property, constructed in 1920 and classified as a Class A building, has shown particular vulnerability to door-related issues, with multiple service requests and violations recorded for both 2025 and prior years. The presence of active violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024 suggests an administrative oversight that is noteworthy for resident awareness. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the most recent complaints from early 2025 and the ongoing bedbug reporting violations should be of particular attention to residents regarding building management's responsiveness to regulatory requirements and maintenance needs.
