249 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn

Small East Williamsburg walk-up with two open code violations and air quality signals from nearby commercial spaces.

Small eight-unit East Williamsburg walk-up where the interior record carries open code violations alongside recent complaints about unpermitted work and indoor air quality. Three things to know:

Two open safety violations need physical repairs. The building carries two open violations issued in July 2026 — one Class C immediately hazardous violation for a defective self-closing boiler door latch in the cellar, and one Class A violation for an unattached dropladder shoe on the rear fire escape. Both require physical repairs to resolve.

Commercial air quality and dust complaints affect the block. Nine indoor air quality complaints and ten food establishment calls were logged within three blocks over the last year, alongside a September 2025 complaint for construction dust directly in the building. Unpermitted construction calls were also filed against the property in mid-2025 without active permits.

Late-night commercial noise dominates the surrounding three blocks. Within three blocks of the building, 221 commercial noise complaints were logged over the last 12 months, overwhelmingly driven by loud music and parties (191 calls). The calls peak during late-night hours on nearby commercial corridors.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• One rat sighting complaint logged from the building in July 2026
• 84 blocked driveway complaints logged within three blocks over the trailing 12 months
• 13 street encampment calls recorded within three blocks in the last year
