162 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

162 Smith Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michele Vestuto. The building has maintained an impressive record with respect to bedbug management, having filed seven consecutive annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

This consistent clean record was recently acknowledged in a March 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violation notice related to bedbug reporting requirements, though this violation is now closed. The property has undergone limited building code inspections and service requests in recent years. A rodent inspection in February 2023 resulted in a passing grade, and there was one 311 service request in September 2024 related to a food establishment complaint, which the NYC Health Department addressed and closed.

Two notable complaints were filed regarding work without a permit in January 2025, and a "CSE: Sweep" complaint in December 2022, both of which were either referred to other agencies or found to warrant no violations. The building's most recent annual bedbug report (2024-2025) continues the pattern of previous years, showing no evidence of infestation during the reporting period. While the property has experienced minimal maintenance issues and violations, the most significant concerns appear to be the 2025 complaints about unauthorized work and the previously noted bedbug reporting violation, though the latter was promptly addressed through annual compliance.
