132 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

132 St Nicholas Avenue, a 3-story, 4-unit Class A building constructed in 2009 in Bushwick, is currently facing several pressing maintenance issues and ongoing regulatory violations. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints documented between 2021 and 2024, including two separate emergency complaints in December 2024 alone. The building has also experienced persistent pest control challenges, with rodent activity documented through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, and a current open violation from April 2023 regarding roach infestation in Apartment 2A.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have revealed several open Class A violations related to building safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to post proper notices regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and bedbug reporting procedures. The building's management has a history of failing to file necessary safety inspections, including boiler and elevator inspections from 2017-2021, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The property has shown some compliance progress, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing, though this follows a history of multiple rat activity reports between 2023 and 2024.

Notable infrastructure issues have included water leaks (as documented in October 2023) and window frame problems (as noted in October 2021). While there have been some instances of prompt resolution of heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by several complaints being marked as "corrected," the recurring nature of these problems suggests ongoing building systems challenges. The building currently has multiple open violations requiring attention, including an April 2024 violation related to bedbug reporting compliance and several October 2023 violations related to building safety postings and maintenance requirements.
