The 3-story, 6-unit building at 26 St James Place in Clinton Hill, owned by Shay Zach and built in 1875, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning are three active violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020-2022, which represent a potential safety concern. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in November 2023 passing, but not before multiple bait applications and at least one instance of rat activity between 2022-2023. Bedbug management appears to be under control, with the most recent filings (2024-2025) showing zero infested units, and previous years' reports consistently documenting no infestations. The building had one plumbing-related complaint in 2020 regarding water supply issues, though this was investigated and closed with no violations found. While annual bedbug reports were previously cited as a violation in 2023 and 2022, the most recent reports show compliance with no infestation history. The property has undergone some renovation work, as evidenced by permit filings in 2018-2019 for various improvements.
