569 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 569 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Webster Blades and constructed in 1901, has undergone several significant events in recent years, most notably a major construction project that appears to be ongoing as of 2023-2025. The building has experienced recurrent issues with bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

There was also a rodent sighting reported in December 2020, and while subsequent rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025 generally showed compliance with passing results, there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in 2022. During the construction period from 2020 to 2021, the building faced multiple safety-related violations, particularly regarding scaffolding and pedestrian protection, with issued penalties totaling over $20,000. These included issues with unsupported scaffolding installation, inadequate pedestrian protection, and failures to conduct proper pre-shift safety meetings.

The Department of Buildings also issued several violations for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions between 2019 and 2020, though these were subsequently dismissed. The building's recent permit history shows ongoing activity, with multiple permits issued between 2020 and 2023, including plumbing and alteration permits. The most recent records indicate that construction-related issues may still be pending resolution, as evidenced by the "In Process" status of a permit filed in March 2023.
