68 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

68 Carroll Street is a 3-story, 2-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Joshua Wagschal. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in early 2022 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed, including two emergency complaints in January of that year.

An inspection in February 2022 revealed several violations in Apartment 3 including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate self-closing doors, and heating system deficiencies. The building's management also faced violations related to building code compliance, including locked access to the heating system and the requirement to file annual bedbug reports. More recent issues include a building shaking complaint in March 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation being served, and an environmental control board violation in March 2023 related to disrepair of the exterior facade, with stucco displacement observed at multiple locations.

The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in early 2024 for Local Law 188/17 compliance and an illegal commercial use complaint, with the latter resulting in the inspector being unable to gain access for verification. Despite these various maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of having no bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the regular reporting submissions from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The most recent bedbug report covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 confirms no infestations during that timeframe.
