576 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 576 Henry Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Rory Cohen, was constructed in 1975 and currently holds a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The property has had consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, with all filings indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management protocols.

However, there have been two significant Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though these violations have since been closed. The building has faced some access-related inspection challenges, with two complaints recorded in 2018-2019: one regarding an alleged illegal conversion and another concerning possibly defective gas hook-ups, in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access despite multiple attempts.

While these complaints were officially closed, the inability to inspect during the complaints represents a modest concern. Nevertheless, the absence of any documented health or safety violations since 2019, combined with proper bedbug reporting in recent years, indicates that the building has maintained reasonable standards of habitability in recent times, though the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy status remains noteworthy.
