129 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit building at 129 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Menahan Lofts LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025) that warrant attention. Most concerning are recent heating and electrical problems, with emergency complaints filed in December 2024 regarding heat/hot water loss and a power outage, though HPD inspectors were unable to conduct necessary inspections in response.

The building has also dealt with multiple water-related issues, including two separate water leak complaints in August 2023 involving slow leaks and damp spots. The property has faced several maintenance code violations, including issues with the building's third-story public hall requiring repairs to both the ceiling and roof to address leaking problems, along with the need for various repairs to ensure proper safety and maintenance standards were met. Notably, a violation in 2024 involved a non-self-closing front door issue that could impact security and safety.

However, it's worth mentioning that since November 2024, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all reports showing zero infested units. Recent rodent inspections (conducted through 2025) have consistently shown passing results, indicating effective pest management. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding systems like heat and water, many prior violations have been addressed and resolved, as evidenced by their "Closed" status in the violation records.
