136 Erasmus Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 20-unit, 5-story building at 136 Erasmus Street in East Flatbush, owned by Erasmus Realty LLC, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its operational history. Most recently, in 2025, there were two incidents involving standing water on the driveway and a door issue, while in 2024, the building faced multiple challenges including pest infestations, plumbing problems, and issues with electrical systems. October 2023 was particularly concerning, with multiple heat and hot water complaints for the entire building resulting in violations, though these were addressed shortly thereafter.

Additional maintenance concerns included mold (notably in Apartment 4B), various apartment-specific violations such as issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bathroom fixtures in Apartment 3C, as well as building-wide problems including a roof leak and defective fire retardant material in the 5th-floor public hall. The building's history shows active maintenance management in terms of addressing issues, as evidenced by the prompt closure of most complaints and violations. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2021-2025), and passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2015.

Several Department of Buildings complaints in 2024 concerning construction practices were investigated but resulted in no violations being found. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, consistently reporting zero infested units. While the building experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2024, these appear to have been addressed through regular inspections and violation corrections as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
