199 Hooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 199 Hooper Street in Williamsburg, owned by Esther Perlmutter, has a history of bedbug reporting compliance issues from 2021 to the present, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024. The Department of Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, as evidenced by three consecutive open violations in 2023 and 2024, following one closed violation in 2022 and another in 2021.

Despite these violations, the official bedbug reporting filed in March 2022 for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 showed no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any units. There was one construction-related complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in February 2019, which was promptly investigated within one day and resulted in no violations being warranted.

The building, constructed in 1899, is classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, indicating a prior conversion to permanent residential use. While the bedbug reporting compliance issues are the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, it's worth noting that the property's documented bedbug report showed no actual infestation during that particular review period. The property, now over 125 years old, has exhibited typical maintenance and reporting challenges associated with its age and type, most notably the recurring issue with bedbug report compliance over multiple years.
