65 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
65 Penn Street is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Asher Berkowitz and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over recent years, with open violations in both 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code. Between 2019-2022, the building underwent significant construction activity that generated multiple violations related to construction safety compliance, including issues with construction fencing, expired permits, and safety concerns affecting neighboring properties.
While some of these violations resulted in penalties (totaling approximately $8,000), most were resolved by mid-2022, including three incidents of construction fence problems addressed through Environmental Control Board violations. The building's bedbug history shows a successful eradication effort, with no reported infestations in the 2020-2021 period, though the property currently maintains open bedbug reporting violations. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2016 resulted in a passing grade.
The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020-2021, showing good management of this particular issue, though the recent failures to file reports in 2023 and 2024 are noteworthy. Three recent bedbug report filings (November 2022) indicate proper pest management practices were followed in prior years, with all previously infested units reportedly eradicated. The building has received multiple CSE sweep inspections (January-August 2022) and two Construction Safety Compliance violations in 2021, with all these cases ultimately resulting in either "No Violation Warranted" or "Oath Violation Served" findings.
