72 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

72 Carroll Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Joanna Ruane.

The property has a concerning and persistent pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving citations for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open. Prior to these ongoing bedbug-related violations, the building experienced a significant safety issue in 2018 when an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding the absence of guard rails or other railing protection at the back side of the building, though this violation has since been resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building has had two construction-related permits issued in late 2020, one in October for electrical work (EW) and another in July for alteration work (AL), with the latter permit showing only a partial completion two years later in September 2021. While the property appears to have undergone some permitted work during that period, the most pressing concern remains the unresolved bedbug report violations, which have persisted for multiple years despite government intervention and continue to affect the building as of the latest available data in 2024.
