138 Hewes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-unit residential building at 138 Hewes Street in Williamsburg, owned by Isaac Rubinstein, was constructed in 1931 and is classified as a converted Class A structure. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the respective reporting periods.

Recent inspections have focused on ensuring compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with notable violations in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been officially closed. Looking further back, the building had several open violations from September 1986 that remain on record, including issues with a loose window air conditioner in the third-floor center window, unpainted surfaces in the first-floor vestibule, and various security and safety concerns regarding the vestibule entrance and heating system access.

These older violations, while still appearing in the historical record, are significantly dated and likely no longer relevant to current building conditions. The property has shown recent attention to regulatory compliance, particularly with the bedbug reporting requirements, and all recent violations have been addressed and closed.
