153 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

153 West 9th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by Brandon Yu and constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has undergone significant construction activity and experienced several compliance issues in recent years, most notably between 2019 and 2022, when multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations were recorded.

These incidents centered around construction safety concerns, including inadequate support/shoring, work site conditions endangering workers, and unauthorized work on exterior walls. Five ECB violations were issued in September 2020 regarding construction site safety and maintenance issues, including obstructed exit passageways and debris netting maintenance, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's recent history shows improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2025), as confirmed by the most recent bedbug report filed in January 2025.

There was a standing water complaint recorded in September 2024 that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene could not access during their inspection attempt. The property has maintained active bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units. While the building experienced significant construction-related issues in 2020, with multiple stop-work orders and safety concerns, these appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the resolution of associated violations and the issuance of new work permits between 2020 and 2021.
