26 Middagh Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

26 Middagh Street is a historic three-story, three-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1829 and currently owned by Philip Moser. The property has experienced several significant events over the past decade, most notably a series of construction-related complaints in 2020, with concerns about unpermitted work, building vibrations, and a storage shed installation in the rear yard, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action.

The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though the most recent filings indicate no infested units were reported during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 periods. Rodent-related issues have been documented, with two complaints in 2020 (one still in progress as of July 2020), though previous inspections in 2013 and 2015 showed the building passed rodent inspections, and the most recent bedbug reports suggest a possible improvement in pest management. The property is currently subject to a construction-related complaint as of September 2024 regarding grade/watercourse changes, with a notice of violation served in May 2025.

While there have been multiple building-related complaints throughout 2020, most were resolved without finding violations, including concerns about building stability, construction beyond approved plans, and sidewalk shed issues. The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing. The property appears to have maintained basic compliance with housing standards, though the concentration of construction-related complaints and pest management issues in 2020-2023 suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance and regulatory requirements has been necessary.
