247 Front Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
247 Front Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn, owned by Diane Lewis and constructed in 1899 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, each linked to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
More positively, the building has shown recent improvement in pest management, with successful rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024, following a period of significant rodent activity in 2018 that required multiple bait applications between June and August of that year. The building had two complaints regarding unauthorized work in 2022 (in June and September), though inspections found no warranted violations in either case.
The property's maintenance record reveals a pattern of recurring violations and pest management challenges, particularly notable in 2018 when there was documented rat activity in both April and September, though subsequent inspections in 2019 and beyond showed passing results. The current bedbug violation status indicates ongoing administrative noncompliance as of 2024, while the most recent rodent inspections show successful pest management. The building's age and classified status as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its historical construction period.
