124 Erasmus Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

124 Erasmus Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Leah Waldman. The building's record shows several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during its initial years of occupancy. Between late 2018 and 2019, there were multiple reports of pest infestations and garbage storage problems, with three separate pest-related complaints in January 2019 and issues regarding garbage/recycling storage in September 2018 and August 2021, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

A heat and hot water emergency was reported in November 2020 but was quickly resolved within two days of the complaint. During the construction phase leading to the building's completion, several safety violations were recorded, including inadequate trench protection, failure to maintain proper egress, and inadequate housekeeping on the construction site. Multiple complaints regarding work being performed outside of permitted hours were made in September and October 2019, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The building has undergone regular maintenance checks, including successful rodent inspections in 2023 and 2018, with no reported rodent infestation. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2025. The building's management has addressed various safety requirements, as evidenced by the certification of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in early 2021, including the posting of required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures.
