163 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-story, four-unit building at 163 Warren Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Kit Lam, is a 1900 vintage Old Law Tenement that has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most recently, in February 2024, there was a water supply-related plumbing complaint that prompted inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found and the matter was promptly resolved.

The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug issues, with annual filings from 2022 through 2024 showing zero infestations, successful eradications, and no re-infestations in any dwelling units. Prior to this, there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these may now be considered moot given the subsequent successful filings demonstrating compliance.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with a rat activity finding in June 2018 followed by three consecutive passes in August 2018, July 2018 (compliance), and March 2023 inspections. The property's overall condition appears stable based on recent records, with the most significant recent incident being the plumbing issue in early 2024, which was resolved with no violations noted. The building's age and history as an Old Law Tenement are typical for the neighborhood, and while there have been some compliance issues in the past, including the bedbug report violations, recent records suggest improved adherence to housing maintenance requirements.
