116 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 116 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Allie Dweck, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably concerning water infrastructure. The most recent incident in August 2024 involved water supply issues, with inspectors unable to gain access to the property. Throughout 2023, multiple complaints related to water leaks, mold, and sewage problems were filed, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building has also faced security-related concerns, with several emergency complaints about window frames (2022), heating issues (2020), and pest infestations (2018) where inspectors could not gain access for verification. Significant violations were documented in 2019, particularly regarding safety and security elements, including concerns about fire escape access, door security, and various obstructions in common areas. More recently, two active complaints from 2024-2025 are under investigation: one regarding potential illegal commercial use and another concerning an unauthorized conversion.

The building's health records show consistent rodent inspections, with the most recent in March 2025 passing inspection. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2025), and the property has maintained a clean record for pest management as per the latest reports. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure stability, particularly regarding plumbing systems, though all recent complaints have been marked as "Closed" following investigations, even if violations were not substantiated.
