183 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit building at 183 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Dionisio Arias, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues. Most notably, there has been an ongoing bedbug reporting requirement violation from 2021 to present, with the most recent citation in April 2024.

The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in early 2021, including emergency heat/hot water issues, a pest infestation (particularly in apartment 1RAPT), water leaks, and multiple safety concerns including broken window guards and carbon monoxide detector issues. Apartment 1RAPT received several violations requiring attention to the carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, bathroom door lock, water leak, and various maintenance issues, though some violations were certified as resolved by March 2021.

The property has shown periodic rodent issues, with inspection results varying from "Passed" to "Rat Activity" between 2022 and 2025. Most recently, in April 2025, the building passed a compliance inspection, though another inspection in March 2025 had failed for "Other Reasons." The building's safety history includes multiple emergency reports between 2018-2021 regarding door/window issues and safety concerns, particularly focusing on broken window guards and door problems, though many of these incidents were eventually closed without violations being issued. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by recent rodent inspection results, there remain open violations related to the annual bedbug report requirement and past maintenance issues that suggest continued monitoring of the property's conditions is warranted.
