471 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 3-story, 4-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 471 Henry Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Cyril Renaud and built in 1850, has experienced several noteworthy events over recent years. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with all reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infestation or eradication cases, indicating effective management of this potential issue.

In late 2019, the building underwent facade work that resulted in multiple violations related to scaffold safety, including an Environmental Control Board violation for unsecured debris netting, though these were resolved with a $10,000 penalty that has since been settled. During this period, there were also complaints about illegal after-hours work and inadequate sidewalk shed conditions, though inspections did not warrant any violations at the time. The building's maintenance record shows periodic Bedbug Reporting violations in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating an active infestation problem.

Recent construction and maintenance work has been documented through several permits issued between 2019 and 2020, with the latest permits appearing to be for exterior work (EW). A notable issue arose in early 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous violations, though this violation was subsequently dismissed by the ECB. Despite these various issues, the building's most recent inspection records and bedbug reporting history suggest current conditions are stable, with no active violations or infestations noted in the past three reporting periods.
