145 Penn Street, Brooklyn

Administrative filings are overdue, but physical structure calls remain sparse.

A 1931 three-family building in South Williamsburg that operates with an outdated registration file. It carries eight open violations, but all eight stem from unfiled annual bedbug reports and missing property registration statements rather than physical decay. Three things to know:

The eight open violations are strictly administrative paperwork. All eight open violations on file are administrative: four for failing to file annual bedbug reports and four for missing annual registration statements. None represent physical structural or safety hazards.

Surrounding blocks logged three indoor air quality reports. Three indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, most recently in May 2026. Fume and air quality calls in mixed-use areas often signal exhaust or riser drift from ground-floor operations.

Curb space and trash pickups carry most of the nearby street friction. Within three blocks, curb friction leads street calls, including 42 illegal parking reports—mostly commercial overnight parking and double-parking—and 33 missed collection calls primarily for bulky trash.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Within three blocks, 31 damaged tree complaints were logged over the last year, primarily for cracked or fallen branches.
• The surrounding blocks logged 24 residential noise complaints over the trailing 12 months.
