279 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 12-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 279 1st Street in Park Slope, owned by Alexis Weiss and constructed in 1921, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years. From 2021 through 2024, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug report under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.
While these violations are documentation-related rather than directly impacting resident safety, their persistent nature suggests potential oversight in maintenance protocols. The building underwent three tenant safety inspections in November 2021, where no violations were found, and a fourth inspection in December 2021, which also resulted in no violations being warranted.
Historical records show variable rodent activity, with initial inspections in 2013 revealing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections in October 2013 and December 2017 resulted in passing grades. The most recent rodent-related inspection was carried out in 2017, indicating that while there was past rodent activity, it has been seven years since the last recorded inspection. The building's overall violation record shows a pattern of administrative non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting, though in terms of safety-related inspections, the property has generally passed recent tenant safety checks.
