160 Erasmus Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

160 Erasmus Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, completed in 2019 and currently owned by Moshe Deutsch. The property has experienced several recurrent issues requiring government intervention, particularly relating to garbage and recycling storage conditions, with multiple HPD complaints filed in 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a smoking violation in a smoke-free area that remains under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building underwent construction from 2018-2019, during which time several safety violations were recorded, including issues with window safety, construction debris, and fire safety compliance, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024. However, there were two rodent-related complaints in 2021 and 2024, with the 2021 complaint remaining unresolved in the records up to October 2023.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2022 primarily involved safety and housekeeping issues related to construction activities, with penalties imposed for certain violations, though records show these were resolved. The property has demonstrated some ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple sanitation-related complaints, though many of these have been officially closed following inspections. While the building's recent history shows improvements in some areas, the recurrence of sanitation-related complaints and the smoking violation in 2025 suggest ongoing management challenges.
