16 St Felix Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit building at 16 St Felix Street in Fort Greene, owned by Ernest Chuang, has a mixed record of compliance and safety concerns since 2020. Most notably, there were multiple construction-related complaints in 2022, including work contrary to stop work orders, excavation concerns, and construction beyond approved plans, though inspections generally found no violations warranting further action.

The building has experienced some pest control challenges, with the property receiving bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2023, though recent filings from 2024-2025 show zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting improved pest management. Several Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2022, primarily related to construction site management and safety concerns, including issues with a leaning construction fence and inadequate housekeeping. The building's maintenance history shows consistent challenges with filing required inspections and reports, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections and boiler inspections, though most violations were ultimately dismissed.

Rodent activity was documented in both September and October 2022, and there was a minor issue with construction debris and safety concerns in February 2022 that led to a $625 penalty. Recent bedbug report filings show no current infestations, and there have been no major building safety concerns documented in the past two years, suggesting improved maintenance and pest control practices. The property has maintained its classification as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" building, though questions about illegal conversions and work without permits were filed but found no supporting violations during inspections.
