193 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

193 Van Buren Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Shalewa Byers and constructed in 1899. The building has maintained a relatively strong record of compliance with housing maintenance standards over the past five years, particularly regarding pest management.

While the property received four consecutive Class A violations from 2021 to 2024 pertaining to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under HPD regulations, these violations appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation problem. The most recent bedbug report filings for the periods of 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 both reported zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management protocols were eventually established.

The building has demonstrated consistent maintenance of rodent control standards, with regular inspections showing passing results from 2019 through 2025. These inspections, conducted approximately every six months, confirm that the property has maintained an effective program for monitoring and addressing rodent issues. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025, along with previous inspections in December 2024, June 2024, and earlier dates, suggests that the building management has prioritized and successfully maintained pest control measures over the years, despite the initial challenges with bedbug report compliance.
