418 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, four-unit tenement building at 418 Henry Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Leo Amer, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in late 2024, there was a complaint filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold, which prompted an HPD inspection attempt that could not be completed.

This complaint was formally logged as an emergency housing maintenance code violation. The building has also faced recurring compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving four consecutive violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file the necessary annual bedbug reports, though the most recent report filed in December 2024 (covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024) indicates no current infestation issues, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed compliance, with violations remaining open for extended periods.

While the recent bedbug report suggests the issue has been resolved, the recent mold complaint raises potential concerns about ongoing maintenance challenges. The property, constructed in 1888, is classified as an Old Law Tenement and has been subject to typical regulatory scrutiny for its age and building class. The repeated need for enforcement action regarding bedbug reporting and the recent mold complaint indicate some challenges in maintaining prompt compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the most recent bedbug reporting suggests recent improvements in this specific area.
