173 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

173 Union Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. This 1899 Old Law Tenement building, currently owned by Frank Caravello, has a concerning pattern of unaddressed housing maintenance code violations specifically relating to bedbug reporting requirements.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive violations (in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by NYC HPD regulations. These violations remain open as of the most recent data available, indicating a continued lack of compliance with this important health and safety requirement.

The building's only other documented inspection was for rodent monitoring in July 2018, which passed, suggesting no significant pest control issues at that time. However, the persistent bedbug report violations over multiple years, with no recorded resolution or certification dates, represent the most significant and concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance affecting this property. The repeated nature of these violations, which are technically classified as 'Class A' violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, signals an ongoing oversight of required tenant protections that should be noted by current or prospective residents.
