229 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

229 Skillman Street is a 4-story, 3-unit Class A residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 2006. The property, currently owned by Zvi Mehring, has undergone regular inspections and received attention to various maintenance requirements over the years.

Notably, there have been recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, though recent records from December 2024 indicate that no units were infested, and there have been no reported infestations or re-infestations in the past year. The building experienced a rat sighting complaint in February 2023, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations found. The property has maintained a strong record on rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025.

Other maintenance issues noted in 2020 included the need to remove household items from the boiler room and to post proper smoke detector requirement notices, though these violations were certified as corrected by January 2021. Additionally, a certificate of inspection visits requirement was addressed in 2018. The building's recent inspections, especially the consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of current bedbug infestations, suggest improved maintenance compliance, though the historical pattern of bedbug reporting violations prior to 2024 is notable.
