AI summary · updated June 2026

188 Sackett Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and owned by Paul Lo. Built in 1900, this Old Law Tenement property has undergone regular inspections over the past several years, with a particular focus on compliance with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements. From 2021 through 2024, the building received four separate violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required, though these violations were subsequently closed. The most recent bedbug report, filed in May 2024 for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, showed no signs of infestation, with zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units reported. Prior to this, a similar report from June 2021 (covering November 2019 to October 2020) also indicated a clean status with no infestations. Additionally, the building passed a rodent inspection in July 2018, suggesting good conditions in this regard. While the building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, the most recent documentation indicates that the property is currently free from bedbug infestations, with proper reporting now in place.
