157 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 157 West 9th Street in Carroll Gardens, currently owned by Haiyan Liu, has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident comfort and building compliance since 2021. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though this was resolved promptly within two days according to HPD records.

The building has maintained a consistent pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations as recently as April 2024. Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug filing for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicates no units were infested, suggesting successful management of this issue during that reporting period. The building's violation history shows a regular pattern of bedbug reporting violations being cited and subsequently closed, spanning from 2021 through 2024, all requiring the submission of annual bedbug reports as per HPD regulations.

In 2022, there was a complaint about work being conducted without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, but this complaint was closed the same day due to an inspector's inability to gain access for inspection. While the building's historical record shows these compliance issues, it's worth noting that the most recent heating emergency in February 2025 was an isolated incident with prompt resolution. The building's age (constructed in 1901) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its history of experiencing typical urban maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and regulatory compliance.
