AI summary · updated June 2026

279 Sullivan Place is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and owned by Michael Morris. This New Law Tenement, constructed in 1924, has experienced some regulatory scrutiny over the past decade, most notably regarding bedbug reporting compliance. The building was cited for failure to file annual bedbug reports in both 2021 and 2022, though these violations were subsequently closed. Importantly, the most recent four bedbug reports from December 2022 through December 2024 indicate zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting successful management of this issue following the earlier violations.

The building's rodent inspection history shows a generally positive trend, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without incident. However, it's worth noting a rat activity report from December 2017, which stands out as the only negative result in the past decade. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures in subsequent inspections, with all results showing no violations since 2018. The building's maintenance record, while showing some initial compliance issues related to bedbug reporting, has improved significantly in recent years, with no current violations on record as of 2025.
