209 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

209 President Street in Carroll Gardens is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Paul Kamuf. The property has an ongoing pattern of administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, with Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These Class A violations, which remain open as of the current date, indicate a persistent oversight in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The building experienced a significant incident in June 2020, when the Department of Buildings responded to a construction safety complaint (Complaint Number 3757955) that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation.

This violation, issued on June 30, 2020, carried a $10,000 penalty for failure to safeguard persons and property during construction operations, with a specific incident involving workers and a female occupant receiving a delivery of stone materials. Additionally, there remains an active violation from September 30, 2020, related to the failure to certify correction of the immediately hazardous (Class 1) penalty imposed in connection with the construction safety violation. The ongoing nature of these violations, especially the bedbug reporting failures over multiple years, suggests ongoing compliance issues that have not been resolved through normal processes.
