159A Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story Old Law Tenement building at 159A Columbia Street in Brooklyn, owned by Gregory O'Connell, has experienced relatively few significant issues since its construction in 1900. The property has consistently maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing no infested or previously infested units.

However, the building has had administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with Notices of Violation issued in both 2021 and 2022, though these were subsequently closed. Additionally, in January 2019, there was a complaint regarding building shaking/vibrating and structural stability concerns, but this was investigated the same day and determined to warrant no violations. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, as evidenced by the consistent filing of reports showing zero infestation cases from 2019 through 2025.

The property's violation history appears to have been properly addressed, with both the 2021 and 2022 bedbug reporting violations being closed, though the 2021 violation's certification date is listed as "None" in the records. The recent and ongoing bedbug reporting compliance, showing no instances of infestation, suggests effective pest management practices have been implemented since the previous violations occurred. While the 2019 structural complaint might raise some historical concern, its immediate investigation and closure with no violations noted indicate it was likely an isolated incident rather than a systemic issue.
