137 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

137 Bleecker Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Tom Rosenberg, constructed in 1931. The property has exhibited recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being consistent heating system problems and pest management challenges. Notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2022-2023, all of which were ultimately resolved, though they required emergency intervention.

Rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, despite some earlier inspections passing. The building has also faced structural maintenance issues, including a door frame violation in 2022 that was documented as needing repair. The property currently has active violations related to External Low-Pressure Inspections for the years 2018-2023, suggesting potential regulatory compliance issues.

Between January and September 2022, there were multiple incidents involving construction-related problems, including worker safety concerns and building housekeeping violations. However, these issues appear to have been addressed, and the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past five years, according to official filings. While many previous violations have been resolved, the ongoing rodent activity and unresolved low-pressure inspection violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges that require attention.
