117 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

117 Union Street, a 3-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 2002, is currently owned by Mary Creede and located in the Columbia Street neighborhood. The building has faced several significant public health and maintenance challenges over the past few years.

Most recently, in May 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found rodent-related violations on the property, and while an initial rodent inspection in July 2025 passed, there have been multiple inspections revealing varying levels of rodent activity, including failed inspections and bait applications in 2024. The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations as recently as April 2024, though subsequent reports from December 2024 indicate no infested units were present during the reporting period.

The building's recent history includes two vaccine mandate non-compliance complaints in 2021, specifically regarding employee proof of vaccination checks, though these complaints were promptly resolved. The property has maintained an organized system of annual bedbug reporting, with filings consistently showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units since late 2023. While the building has experienced multiple health and safety inspections, recent inspections indicate improved conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection passing in July 2025.
