42 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
42 Remsen Street is a historic 4-story, 5-unit building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1844 and currently owned by Colm Leahy. The building has maintained an active compliance record with both bedbug and rodent inspections over the past several years.
While there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years (2021-2023) regarding the failure to submit annual bedbug reports, these violations were ultimately resolved, and subsequent bedbug filings for the periods 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and most recently for 2024 have shown no reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units. The building has also successfully passed three rodent inspections conducted in February 2023, August 2015, and February 2013, indicating no significant rodent issues.
The Department of Buildings records show two related permits issued in July 2019 (for plumbing and exterior work) under job number 321944287, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available data. The building's age and conversion status as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it has undergone some form of conversion to its current multi-unit configuration, though specific details about this conversion are not provided in the available data.
