109 South 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

This four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 109 South 9th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Christopher Monte, has a history dating back to 1910. The building's most pressing current issue involves recurring violations of the Housing Maintenance Code related to bedbug reporting; violations have been documented in each of the past three years (2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though there is no indication of ongoing infestations during this period.

The building previously experienced a documented bedbug infestation between November 2019 and October 2020, affecting two units, though these were reported as eradicated with no re-infestation. In terms of pest management, rodent inspections in 2019 showed a mixed record: an initial inspection in March found rat activity, while a compliance inspection in June passed with no issues.

Additional property history includes a Department of Buildings complaint from March 2019 regarding suspected illegal hotel rooms, which was closed due to inspector inability to gain access during the second final attempt. While the building is maintaining the required inspections and reporting for rodent control assessments, the recurring bedbug report violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance requirements. The building's documented history shows attention to addressing pest issues when they arise, though the pattern of recent bedbug report violations indicates a need for improved timely compliance with reporting requirements.
