633 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 633 Union Street in Gowanus, owned by Eric Nachimovsky, has a notable history of maintenance issues requiring attention to resident safety and building standards. Most recently, there are active Environmental Control Board violations as of July 2023, with penalties totaling $12,500, related to the failure to properly sign off on expired permits from 2016 and 2019.

These violations were publicly documented following a July 31, 2023 inspection. The building has also repeatedly faced issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving notices of violation in 2021 and 2023 regarding annual bedbug report filing requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, though subsequent filings (most recent December 2023) show no reported infestations or eradication efforts. Earlier records from 2017 indicate significant rodent control work was necessary, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and resulting in several bait applications throughout the year, though the building did pass a compliance inspection in November 2017.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug management practices over the years, with annual reports from 2019 to present showing zero infestations, though the building experienced reporting compliance issues in 2021 and 2023. The most recent bedbug report period (2022-2023) showed no infested or previously infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Despite these challenges, the building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with both rodent and bedbug issues being systematically addressed when they occur, though not always in full compliance with reporting requirements.
