126 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

126 Joralemon Street, a historic three-story building constructed in 1847 in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, is currently owned by Jesse Hochstadt and consists of two residential units. The property has faced recurring compliance issues in recent years, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports dating back to 2021 and continuing through 2024.

These persistent violations suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to basic health and safety requirements. In March 2023, two significant complaints were filed regarding the property - one concerning construction enforcement and another related to special operations compliance, though no violations were found in either case.

Of particular concern was a March 2023 violation regarding structural issues, noting that a ground floor wall at exposure #4 of an adjacent building (8 Sidney Place) was bulging outward and posed potential collapse risks, though this violation was ultimately dismissed in December 2023 with a notation that it was "OK TO DISMISS." The building has maintained reasonable pest control standards, passing rodent inspections in 2013, 2015, and most recently in February 2023, though the frequency of bedbug report violations suggests there may be ongoing pest management challenges. While the property has successfully resolved some issues (such as a vacate order that was fully rescinded in December 2023), the pattern of open bedbug report violations across multiple years indicates an ongoing regulatory compliance concern that has persisted into 2024.
