138 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, 10-unit building at 138 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Gayle Ellien, boasts a rich history dating back to 1856. The property has undergone several significant events in recent years, warranting attention from both management and residents.

Most notably, there are currently three active violations on record from September 2023 related to unfiled external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2021-2023, though the building has maintained consistent compliance with its bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing zero infestations or related incidents in the past four years. The building's maintenance history reveals some concern for resident comfort, with a 2019 indoor air quality complaint regarding construction dust, though this was promptly addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property's rodent control record shows mixed results, with initial rat activity reported in February 2019, followed by three consecutive passed inspections in 2019, 2023, and February 2025.

A professional certification compliance audit from 2019-2020 was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," indicating potential access issues during inspection processes. Between 2019 and 2022, multiple renovation permits were issued, suggesting ongoing property improvements. While the building has faced inspection access issues and some unaddressed inspection filings, the overall maintenance record shows active management response to reported issues and consistent compliance with most regulatory requirements, particularly in terms of pest control and reporting.
