123 Powell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit building at 123 Powell Street in Brownsville, owned by Yoel Hershkowitch, has been in operation since 1903 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. The property has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints regarding these systems between 2017 and 2019, particularly affecting apartment 2L.
More recently, in early 2022, there were plumbing issues related to water supply that required HPD intervention, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has also faced administrative matters, including two Class A violations in 2021 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and an older, unresolved Class B violation from 1985 concerning the central heating plant enclosure in the cellar.
However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of no actual bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Most recently, there is an active zoning non-conformance complaint as of February 2025, though details on this issue remain limited at this time.
