140 Hewes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-unit, three-story building at 140 Hewes Street in Williamsburg, owned by Adelle Rubinstein, was constructed in 1899 and is currently classified as a Converted Class A building. Recent records from 2021 through 2024 show a consistent pattern of annual bedbug report violations, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, though the building's official bedbug reports from 2020-2021 through 2024-2025 indicate zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during each reporting period.

This suggests that while the building received violations for not filing timely bedbug reports, there have been no actual bedbug infestations during the reporting periods. Looking further back, the building's history shows several open violations from 1986 that remain on record, including issues with a broken electric fixture at the entrance, missing building registration sign, improper posting of inspection certificates near mailboxes, and inadequate floor indication signs in public areas.

Additionally, two significant violations from 1983 documented encumbrances consisting of household items in the public hall and exposed electric wires in the cellar front, though these were certified as resolved in October 2007. These older violations pertain to building safety and regulatory compliance, while the more recent violations primarily relate to administrative requirements for bedbug reporting.
