101 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

101 Woodruff Avenue is a 6-story, 42-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Sam Landau. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, including open complaints as recent as May 2025. The building has also faced water-related problems, including slow leaks and toilet plumbing issues, with violations issued in 2025.

In December 2024, the building received violations for heating system access issues and for visible mold in bathroom areas (Apartment 6G), and multiple apartments (5F and 6G) were cited for inadequate hot water availability. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device service and inspection violations between 2018-2024, though these complaints were often found to warrant no violations upon inspection. The property has experienced pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rat inspections showing activity in recent years, including 2024-2025. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2018, as shown in the building's annual bedbug reports.

The building's water infrastructure seems to require attention, with multiple complaints about water-related issues, and there was a violation in 2024 regarding the encumbered fire escape. A notable recent development is the open heating/hot water complaint from May 2025, which aligns with the building's historical pattern of heating system issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug eradication protocols, consistently reporting zero infested units in recent years. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly with heating and plumbing systems, it has also demonstrated responsiveness to violations, as indicated by many being certified as corrected within specified timeframes.
