171 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 171 Union Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Dora Novak, has maintained its original Old Law Tenement classification since its construction in 1900. The most notable ongoing issue affecting resident quality of life appears to be related to bedbug reporting compliance, with the building receiving consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 specifically regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
These violations are classified as "Class A," indicating their serious nature, and remain open as of the latest data in 2024. While there was one year (2021) when a bedbug violation was issued but subsequently closed, the most recent available bedbug report from July 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during that time.
On a positive note, the building passed a rodent inspection conducted in July 2018, demonstrating compliance with basic pest control regulations. However, the persistent bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggest ongoing administrative compliance issues that may affect resident oversight of pest management practices in the building.
