988 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 988 Carroll Street in Crown Heights, owned by Charly Charmant and constructed in 1924, has consistently demonstrated reminders of residential compliance requirements over the past several years. The most notable recurring issue has been the failure to submit annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, though these violations are procedural rather than indicative of an active infestation.

The building experienced a rat activity incident in February 2025, representing the most recent pest management challenge, though this was preceded by a compliance passing result in March 2025. An interesting note in the building's history pertains to a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings filed in March 2023, but this investigation was closed due to an inspector's inability to gain access during the final inspection attempt in May 2023.

The property has maintained a generally good record with regards to rodent inspections, with results showing compliance or "Passed" status in multiple inspections between 2011 and 2023, with the exception of the aforementioned February 2025 incident. Bedbug reporting compliance has been the primary regulatory challenge for this building, with each of the past four annual reporting periods showing the same open violation. The building's age and class as a New Law Tenement indicate it is subject to specific historic housing regulations, though the persistent nature of these bedbug report violations suggests administrative oversight rather than any significant Board of Health or Housing Maintenance Code concerns related to actual pest presence within the building.
