Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
                  The securities to which this statement (the "Schedule 13D")
relates are the shares of Class A Stock (the "Class A Stock") of Weitzer
Homebuilders Incorporated (the "Company"). The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 5901 N.W. 151st Street, Suite 120, Miami Lakes, Florida
33014-2428.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.
                  This Schedule 13D is filed collectively by the following
individuals and entities which are hereinafter referred to as the "Reporting
Persons":(1) Morris Propp, a private investor, (2) Rodney M. Propp, a private
investor (and cousin of Morris Propp), (3) Hanaper Partners, L.P., a New York
limited partnership, of which all the limited partners are relatives of Morris
Propp and Rodney M. Propp, and which is engaged in the business of making
investments, and (4) P-II, Incorporated, a New York corporation, all of the
stock of which is owned by relatives of Morris Propp and Rodney M. Propp, and
which is engaged in the business of managing Hanaper Partners, L.P. and making
investments in its own behalf. Each Reporting Person's business address is c/o
P-II, Incorporated, 405 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, except Morris
Propp, whose address is 1035 S. Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483.
The individual Reporting Persons are both citizens of the United States.




<PAGE>




                  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has
been (a) convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors), (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
                  No funds were borrowed for the Reporting Persons'
purchases. Morris Propp used the funds of Melvin Heller, his brother-in-law, to
purchase the shares of the Company's Class A Stock for Mr. Heller in an account
of Mr. Heller's over which Morris Propp has discretionary trading authority. All
funds used to purchase the rest of the Company's Class A Stock owned by the
Reporting Persons were personal funds, in the cases of individual Reporting
Persons, and working capital funds in the cases of Hanaper Partners, L.P. and
P-II, Incorporated. It is anticipated that such personal funds and working
capital will be used to make additional purchases, if any, of the Company's
securities.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
                  The Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons was acquired
and is being held as an investment, and they have no present plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in:


<PAGE>




(a) the acquisition or disposition by any person of additional securities of the
Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present
board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or
proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing
vacancies on the board; (e) any material changes in the present capitalization
or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the
Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter,
bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede
the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of
securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or
cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of
the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action
similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
                  The Reporting Persons own in the aggregate 168,000 shares of
Class A Stock which constitutes approximately 7.1% of the shares of Class A
Stock outstanding, based upon the Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1996, in which the Company reported 2,360,254
shares of Class A Stock


<PAGE>




outstanding as of July 31, 1996. Such amount includes 123,000 shares of Class A
Stock owned by Hanaper Partners, L.P., 20,000 shares of Class A Stock owned by
Morris Propp, 10,000 shares of Class A Stock owned by P-II, Incorporated and
15,000 shares of Class A Stock owned by Rodney M. Propp. In addition, Morris
Propp has shared dispositive power over 10,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Stock owned by his brother-in-law, Melvin Heller, by virtue of his discretionary
authority over Mr. Heller's brokerage account in which such shares are held.
Morris Propp expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 15,000 shares owned
by Rodney M. Propp. Rodney M. Propp expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of
the 10,000 shares owned by Morris Propp and the 10,000 shares owned by Melvin
Heller. Each of the Reporting Persons has the sole power to vote and direct the
vote and to dispose and direct the disposition of the Class A Stock which he or
it owns, except that Morris Propp and Rodney Propp share the power to direct the
vote and disposition of (a) the 10,000 shares owned by P-II, Incorporated by
virtue of their positions as its sole directors and officers, and (b) the
123,000 shares owned by Hanaper Partners, L.P. by virtue of P-II, Incorporated's
status as general partner of Hanaper Partners, L.P. In addition, Morris Propp
shares the power to direct the disposition of the 10,000 shares owned by Melvin
Heller, by virtue of his discretionary trading authority over Mr. Heller's
account in which such shares are held.
