179 Waverly Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

179 Waverly Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1901. The property, owned by Patricia Sims, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most prominently, there was a construction-related incident in April 2020 that resulted in two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, where work was ordered to be stopped immediately for safety concerns.

However, these violations were later resolved with the issuance of permits in August 2020, and the stop work order was fully rescinded by August 28, 2020. The building has maintained a consistent record regarding bedbug reporting compliance. While there were three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these appear to be administrative oversights rather than indications of an infestation issue.

Notably, the most recent bedbug report filed in December 2023 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 documented zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property has shown proper compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with all subsequent filings indicating no infestation issues. A recent DOB complaint from October 2024 regarding an alleged certificate of occupancy violation was investigated in April 2025 and found to have no violations warranting action at the time of inspection.
