123 Melrose Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 9-story, 468-unit residential building at 123 Melrose Street in Bushwick, owned by Alexsandra Dabrowski, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since its opening. Between late 2024 and early 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including doors/windows, flooring, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, with HPD inspections generally finding no housing law violations.

However, there was one incident of mold (October 2024) in apartment 140 that resulted in violations, and another concerning heat/hot water issues in August 2024 where inspectors could not gain access to verify conditions. The building's history includes several significant events and compliance checks. In 2022, apartment 215 had a bedbug infestation that required abatement, and apartment 871 was cited for multiple issues including defective floors, electrical outlets, and plastered surfaces.

The property has undergone multiple rodent control efforts, with inspections in 2023 showing consistent rat activity, though recent baiting efforts in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing management of the issue. The building has also faced challenges with compliance inspections, including the inability of inspectors to gain access during several attempts between 2020-2021, and multiple violations related to low pressure inspection filings in 2023, all of which were ultimately dismissed. While the building generally meets basic housing maintenance codes according to HPD inspections, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort.
