198 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, two-story building at 198 11th Street in Gowanus, dating back to 1899 and currently owned by Derek Sentner, has experienced several notable regulatory interactions over the past decade. Most recently, the building has been subject to annual bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, with each instance (recorded in March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

These violations, while classified as 'A' (which typically indicates less serious offenses), suggest ongoing administrative compliance issues with building management regarding pest reporting. In 2022, there was a complaint about alleged illegal conversion (complaint number 3853887), which was marked as closed in November 2022 following inspector attempts to gain access, though the final disposition noted that the inspector was unable to enter the property.

The building also underwent rodent inspections in 2011, with mixed results - while it passed the compliance inspection in October 2011, it had previously failed an initial inspection earlier that same month for unspecified reasons. It's worth noting that while the building's age and location in Gowanus naturally raise some concerns about modernization and maintenance, the available data primarily points to administrative compliance issues rather than serious safety or habitability concerns.
