158 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The four-story, five-unit tenement at 158 Smith Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Steven Affronti, has demonstrated generally responsible management of pest control and property maintenance since 2020. Most notably, the building has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbugs, with eight consecutive annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units or eradication cases, despite two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements (which were subsequently closed).

The property also successfully passed a rodent inspection in February 2023. In terms of the building's commercial space activities, there were two complaints recorded in 2020-2021 regarding an unlicensed adult establishment, with one resulting in an "Oath Violation Served" after inspection in March 2022.

Two Environmental Control Board violations were issued in March 2022: one regarding the unlicensed operation of a physical treatment establishment with massage rooms in the ground floor commercial space, and another concerning an expired work permit from 2009, for which the building ultimately paid a penalty of $625. These violations were resolved, and no similar issues have been reported since. The building's maintenance record, particularly regarding pest control and rodent issues, suggests active management in addressing health and safety concerns, though the commercial space has experienced some regulatory challenges.
