161 Huntington Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

161 Huntington Street is a three-story, two-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1901, located in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood and currently owned by The Aleo Irrevocable Trust. The property has been consistently cited for failure to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating ongoing non-compliance with this important housing safety requirement.

The most recent documented incident occurred in July 2023, when a site conditions complaint was filed regarding construction safety measures, specifically related to missing guard rails and fall protection for workers accessing the roof via scaffolding. This resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $2,500, though this violation was subsequently resolved with a balance due, suggesting some compliance had been met, but indicating prior significant concerns about worker safety during construction activities.

The building's documented history reveals persistent issues with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding pest management reporting requirements, which have remained unresolved for multiple years despite inspections. While the July 2023 construction safety violation was resolved through penalty payment, the relatively small fine of $2,500 may not fully reflect the potential safety risks posed by the construction conditions at that time. The property's age and ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggest a pattern of regulatory non-compliance that has persisted over multiple ownership periods, though the current ownership under The Aleo Irrevocable Trust has only been in place since 2021 according to the available records.
