176 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

176 Union Street in Carroll Gardens is a four-story, eight-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ernest Schemitsch. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning incidents in the summer of 2023, including four service requests filed on August 17, 2023, related to unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues.

While a mold complaint received an inspection and was closed without violations, two pest-related complaints and a toilet plumbing issue were closed due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection. More recently, there were no reported infestations in the bedbug reporting periods of 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and as of December 2024, the building maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs and had no reported cases of eradicated or re-infested units. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2018, with an initial inspection revealing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in July and October of that year passed compliance checks.

The property's bedbug reporting record is notably clean, with consistent reporting showing no infestations from 2020 through 2024, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. However, the 2023 summer complaints highlight potential building maintenance challenges, specifically regarding access issues for inspections. The building's age and history as an old law tenement are typical for the Carroll Gardens neighborhood, and while there have been some pest-related complaints, the overall trend shows no persistent infestation problems, with regular inspections indicating primarily compliance or passed results, particularly in recent years.
