145 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 145 Smith Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Ling Man Yim, has been standing since 1910 and underwent conversion to Class A status. The property has experienced multiple administrative challenges over recent years, most notably in 2025, when there were several complaints (between May and June) regarding work conducted without proper permits in the occupied multiple dwelling, with at least one resulting in an Oath Violation.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2023-2024, when the building received a violation for failure to file the 2022 External Low-Pressure Inspection report, following a similar issue in 2019 for not filing the 2017 Boiler Inspection report, though that violation was ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with the most recent report filed in January 2025 showing no current infestations or eradication efforts required.

Historical bedbug data from 2019-2020 indicated three units had previously required eradication measures, though no re-infestations were reported. The property's maintenance history shows regular bedbug report filings through 2025, with zero reported infestations in the past two years (2023-2025) and no units requiring eradication. While the building's older structural and safety systems (as evidenced by the pressure and boiler inspection violations) suggest some maintenance oversight issues, the more recent bedbug reporting compliance and absence of active violations since 2024 indicate improvements in regulatory adherence.
