137 Rodney Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

137 Rodney Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Cheskel Zupnick. The building has a notable history of bedbug-related monitoring and reporting requirements. Between 2021 and 2024, there were four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

However, subsequent to these violations, the property has maintained compliance with the reporting requirements, with the 2024 bedbug report (filed in May) showing no current infestations, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units in the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. Prior reports from 2022 and 2023 indicated the eradication of four units, though these figures appear to reference different reporting periods (2022-2023 vs. 2020-2021), making direct comparisons challenging.

The building's recent regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, suggests improved attention to pest management, though the pattern of violations prior to 2024 raises some questions about prior oversight. It's noteworthy that during the reporting periods covered, there have been no documented infestations in recent submissions, with the property apparently having successfully addressed any previous issues, as indicated by the "eradicated" unit counts in earlier filings. The most significant concerning pattern was the series of violations between 2021 and 2024 related to reporting compliance, though the subsequent resolution of these issues represents a positive development in the building's maintenance history.
