74 Butler Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

74 Butler Street is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, that was constructed in 1931 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building is currently owned by David Erlij and has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all concerning the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These ongoing violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding pest management documentation. The building experienced rodent control compliance issues in late 2009, with failed inspection results recorded on November 6 and November 23 of that year, though it's unclear from the available data whether these conditions have persisted.

While the rodent violations are now quite dated, they represent the only other recorded health and safety concerns in the building's documented history. The pattern of bedbug report violations over the past four years, while primarily administrative in nature, does warrant attention to the building's pest management practices, though it's important to note that these violations relate primarily to documentation rather than directly indicating the presence of infestations.
