152 East 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 152 East 39th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Myrthe Williams, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2022 that warrant attention. Most notably, there was a significant cluster of water-related problems reported in April 2022, including three separate complaints about water leaks with varying severity (heavy flow, slow leak, and damp spots), along with issues related to paint/plaster on walls and ceilings.

These problems resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued, particularly for a water leak affecting the ceiling in Apartment 1R's bathroom and a ceiling in another room, which were marked as emergency violations. In the same period, violations were documented concerning broken/missing window guards, flooring issues, and deficiencies with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1R. The building's maintenance history also includes more recent concerns, such as an ongoing bee/wasp problem (2023) and an unsanitary animal complaint (2024), though the latter was resolved with no violations found.

Two Class A violations were issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2024 show no bedbug infestations were reported in any units since at least 2019. The property has passed recent inspections, including a rodent inspection in July 2024, and the most recent 311 complaint regarding unsanitary animal conditions was resolved with no violations found. While many past violations have been addressed and resolved, the building's history shows recurring issues with water damage and maintenance matters, particularly during the 2022 period.
