50 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The four-story, five-unit brownstone at 50 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by John Ansted, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most concerning are the open violations from 2024 requiring the installation of proper metal receptacles for waste disposal, and the lack of compliance with mandatory annual bedbug reporting since 2021.
The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts in 2025, with records showing rat activity followed by bait application between February and April 2025, though an April 2025 inspection did pass. Previous rodent issues were documented in 2014, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge.
Other significant incidents include a three-month smoking violation addressed in 2024, and a 2023 unsanitary conditions complaint related to garbage recycling storage that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. While a construction-related complaint from 2020 was investigated and found without warrant for violation, this appears to be one of the few instances of compliance. The building's maintenance pattern shows some attention to resolving issues, though the persistence of certain violations suggests ongoing challenges with building management and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
