81 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 81 Butler Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Andrew Gerndt and constructed in 2007, has maintained a generally positive record over the past decade and a half. The most recent significant finding relates to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2023, and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

However, these violations appear to be procedural in nature. More importantly, the building has consistently demonstrated effective pest management, as evidenced by the bedbug reports filed in 2025-2024 showing zero instances of infestation or re-infestation in dwelling units over the past three reporting periods.

The building experienced some challenges with rodent activity in its early years, with documented rat activity in 2010 (twice) and 2012 (once), though these issues appear to have been resolved as subsequent inspections passed without any reported concerns. The building's maintenance record indicates regular compliance checks and, aside from the aforementioned bedbug report violations, there have been no recent issues affecting resident safety or comfort. The most current bedbug report filed in January 2025 shows a clean slate for the period November 2023 to October 2024, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements in recent times.
