131 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
131 Menahan Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Abe Green. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints related to mold and water problems. Between 2021-2022, there were several emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions, specifically mold (including a violation issued in September 2021), and multiple water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks in September 2021 and January 2022.
There were also two instances of heat and hot water complaints, one in April 2022 and another in September 2021, with limited access preventing full inspections in some cases. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing concerns as of 2024-2025, including open violations from November 2022 requiring attention to both mold (approximately 5 square feet in the window recess of apartment 2R) and water leak issues in the same apartment. Recent inspections have focused on safety compliance, with violations noted in 2022 regarding the need for proper gas leak, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector notices in common areas. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2020, consistently showing zero infested units, and several rodent inspections have been conducted with the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing a mix of passed and failed results.
Recent inspections indicate improved compliance with some safety requirements, though several open violations remain as of 2024 regarding plaster repair and water issues in unit 2R. The building has also passed multiple rodent inspections since 2021, showing generally good pest management practices. However, the persistent pattern of mold and water-related complaints over the past few years suggests ongoing building envelope or maintenance challenges that have required repeated tenant interventions through the 311 system. (Note: As of October 2023, the most recent data available indicates some regulatory requirements related to bedbug reporting in 2024 and rodent inspections through 2025, but these details may need to be verified against the most current records.)
