505 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 8-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 505 Williams Avenue in East New York, owned by Kia Belgrave and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, the building faced significant sanitary concerns, with violations recorded for both mold and pest infestations. These recent violations are particularly concerning as they suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has a documented history of pest-related complaints dating back to 2018, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.
The most pressing current issues appear to be concentrated in Apartment 1C, where multiple open violations were documented in August 2024, including problems with water leaks, broken plaster surfaces, defective safety devices (including carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), and peeling paint in various areas. These violations suggest a range of maintenance and safety concerns that require attention. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in recent years. The property has successfully passed rodent inspections in multiple years, including 2019, 2012, and 2011, though there was one mouse sighting complaint in December 2019 that resulted in minor violations.
The building's recent history (2023-2025) shows a pattern of unresolved maintenance issues, particularly in the most recent inspection period. While past pest complaints sometimes received "no violations issued" outcomes, the August 2024 inspections have resulted in confirmed violations, indicating a potential escalation of maintenance concerns. The pattern of mold-related issues is particularly noteworthy, with violations recorded in both 2024 and 2023. Despite the building's age and location, the concentration of recent violations suggests an ongoing need for maintenance and safety improvements.
