135 Rodney Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, two-unit tenement building at 135 Rodney Street in Williamsburg, owned by Adolf Kraus, has a century-old history dating back to 1905, but more recently has faced ongoing compliance issues. Notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules.

These open violations suggest a persistent pattern of non-compliance with this particular housing regulation over multiple years. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in June 2021 regarding work being conducted without a permit in an occupied multi-dwelling, though this complaint was marked as closed with the disposition "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," indicating that the complaint could not be substantiated due to lack of access at the time of inspection.

The building's record shows no other violations or complaints in more recent years (up to October 2023), but the repeated nature of the bedbug report violation across multiple years and the one complaint about unauthorized work suggest some challenges with regulatory compliance in recent years. While these violations do not indicate immediate safety concerns, they do reflect some ongoing administrative oversight issues that have persisted across multiple building management periods. The most recent bedbug report violation in April 2024 remains open as of the current date, continuing this pattern of non-compliance.
