427 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 427 Columbia Street in Red Hook, owned by Hans Vanmeerendonk, has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting over the past several years. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations specifically regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations were all closed, suggesting compliance was eventually achieved, though the pattern of infractions indicates some initial challenges with meeting this particular regulatory requirement. Most recently, the building submitted its bedbug report for the 2022-2023 filing period in April 2024, which documented zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

While this indicates a current absence of bedbug issues in the building, the history of violations suggests there may have been some past concerns that required attention, though these appear to have been resolved. The building, constructed in 1899, is classified under the OLD LAW TENEMENT category, and while the bedbug reporting violations represent the primary pattern of regulatory non-compliance on record, it's worth noting that three out of four violations were issued in the spring months (April), suggesting this may be an administrative deadline that required particular attention.
