133 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 133 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Sam Wurzberger, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1931. Most recently, in early 2025, there was a water leak complaint that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in 2019 (twice) and water supply problems in 2019, though these were reportedly resolved by the time of inspection.
A significant cluster of violations occurred between late 2018 and 2019, including electrical work without a permit, fire escape defects, and various safety concerns. Major construction work in 2018-2019 generated multiple violations for building code non-compliance and safety issues, particularly regarding electrical systems and construction practices, though most were subsequently resolved. The building's recent history shows improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025, with only one failed inspection in 2022 due to rat activity.
The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the last four reporting periods. While there are still some active violations regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, the overall trend suggests improved maintenance and compliance since the period of active violations in 2018-2019. The building has undergone several permitting processes, with the most recent permit related to plumbing work issued in 2021 and marked as completed.
