124 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

124 Graham Avenue is a 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Frank Lang. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems that began in late November 2024 and continued into December 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues resulted in multiple emergency complaints and at least one building-wide violation from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection on November 29, 2024, though some units reportedly had their heat and hot water restored during inspections.

The building also currently has several open violations as of late 2024, particularly affecting apartment 5A, including defects with self-closing doors, inadequate heat supply, and issues with carbon monoxide detecting devices. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns about pests, with multiple non-emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in June 2025, and a documented roach infestation in apartment 1A from November 2024. The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges, including previous issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by the multiple complaints in late 2024.

Records also indicate past rodent activity, with inspections in 2016 and 2021 revealing rat presence, though a compliance inspection passed in 2018 suggests some improvements were made. The property has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs since 2021, with no reported infestations in the most recent monitoring period (2025-2026). While a boiler-related complaint was filed in November 2024, the Department of Buildings inspection found no violations at that time. The building's owner has faced some regulatory scrutiny, evidenced by a violation issued in June 2023 for failing to file a required inspection, though this was ultimately dismissed in August 2023.
