107 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

107 Cornelia Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Albert Dweck. The building has experienced several significant incidents affecting resident comfort and safety over the past few years, most notably a recent indoor air quality complaint in June 2025 regarding chemical vapors, which was addressed by the Department of Health. In 2019, the building faced multiple issues including power outages (both building-wide and in individual apartments), ventilation system problems, and fire escape concerns.

Between February and April 2019, there were several heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, all of which resulted in inspections but no violations were issued. The building had deficiencies in its bedbug reporting for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, though subsequent inspections show no evidence of infestations during these periods. More recent inspections indicate improved conditions, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025.

However, there remains an active violation from June 2023 concerning a failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, which has not yet been resolved. The property's historical records from 2015-2023 show various rodent activity, particularly in 2015 when rat activity was noted multiple times, though this appears to have been fully resolved by 2016 based on subsequent compliance passes. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to violations and complaints, with most being addressed through inspection and no-violation findings, though the persistent heat and hot water issues in early 2019 and the recent indoor air quality complaint suggest periodic infrastructure challenges.
