590 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

590 Williams Avenue is a 23-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Denesh Maharaj. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints and emergency service requests documented between 2024 and 2025, though in most cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could be completed.

There have been significant sanitation and maintenance concerns, particularly in late 2024, with multiple complaints regarding pests, mold, and window frame issues, including an official notice of violation for mice infestation in Apartment D2 issued in December 2023. The building's safety systems have also required attention, with violations recorded in late 2023 relating to self-closing doors at building entrances and vestibules, as well as issues with fire escape egress. Recent inspections in 2025 have focused on plumbing and water supply systems, indicating ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The property has maintained an active response to pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four annual reporting periods (2021-2024), though there were periods of rat activity documented in 2011-2014, with the last rat inspection passing in 2019. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2023 included requirements for proper heating throughout Apartment D2, door repairs, and addressing kitchen and bathroom conditions, though most of these violations were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of compliance issues requiring multiple inspections and service requests, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, which continue to be a recurring concern as evidenced by recent service requests in 2025.
