146 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 146 West 9th Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Edina Zsiga and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years particularly related to unauthorized unit modifications and safety concerns. In late 2020, the building faced multiple Department of Buildings violations regarding illegal conversions and safety deficiencies, with specific concerns about unauthorized additional dwelling units, inadequate means of egress, missing fire alarm systems, and lack of required sprinkler systems, resulting in a total of eight separate violations that were eventually resolved.

A related October 2020 complaint about illegal hotel rooms in a residential building led to a partial vacate order. More recently, in 2025, there were two illegal conversion violations recorded in January and March, though these were also resolved through Oath Violation processes.

The building has maintained a current record of no bedbug infestations, with the most recent Bedbug Reporting filings (for the periods ending in 2024 and 2023) indicating zero infested or re-infested units, following a pattern of three consecutive annual bedbug report violations in 2021-2023. Prior plumbing and safety concerns were documented in 2019, including issues with a toilet, bathtub/shower, and fire escape; however, the Housing Preservation and Development Department was unable to gain access for inspection in these cases, resulting in closed complaints.
