167 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 167 Union Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Carleen Lacqua, has been in existence since 1900 and presents a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has open violations regarding unfiled annual bedbug reports for 2021-2024, representing a potential concern for resident comfort and safety.

The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with a particularly active period in early 2018 showing consistent rat activity and multiple bait applications, though recent inspections in 2020 and 2018 resulted in passing grades from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A plumbing issue involving a bathtub/shower complaint was filed in December 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions.

The building's inspection history shows some positive developments, particularly in the recent years, with no documented rodent activity since 2020, and an initial rodent inspection in September 2020 resulting in a passed inspection. While the property has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, including the need for repeated baiting and inspection visits in 2018, the absence of recent complaints and inspections showing violations in the past three years suggests some level of improved maintenance. However, the persistent bedbug reporting violation since 2021 remains the most significant current compliance issue.
