76 Douglass Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 76 Douglass Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Sha Dinour, has experienced several notable events in recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2023, there was a power outage incident that required investigation by both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code, though no violations were found.

The building has been consistently cited for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with four open violations related to this requirement. Currently, there are also active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020 through 2024, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 representing a pattern of non-compliance with this safety requirement. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections in recent years, with mixed results.

The most recent inspection in March 2025 passed, showing improvement in the building's pest control measures. However, there was documented rat activity in February 2025, and similar issues were noted in December 2016 and August 2016, indicating past challenges with rodent control. The property, built in 1920, belongs to the "Old Law Tenement" class, and while it has maintained some basic compliance with various regulations (as evidenced by passing inspections), the open violations regarding bedbug reporting and pressure safety inspections suggest areas requiring attention.
