160 Hewes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit building at 160 Hewes Street in Williamsburg, owned by Leopold Freund, was constructed in 1899 and has undergone various modifications over the years. The property has consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, with all four violations remaining open as of the latest available data.

These violations indicate non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). From a maintenance and improvement perspective, the building has seen several permit issuances between 2019 and 2021, all associated with job number 321957183. These permits include multiple emergency work (EW) permits between September 2019 and January 2021, as well as one plumbing (PL) permit issued in January 2020, suggesting active maintenance and possibly addressing various systems within the building during this period.

The consistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years indicates an ongoing oversight in compliance with HPD requirements, though it's worth noting that these violations are administrative in nature rather than directly impacting physical safety. The cluster of emergency work permits suggests that the building has required attention to certain systems or structures, though the specific nature of these works would need to be cross-referenced with Department of Buildings records for detailed understanding. While recent data patterns suggest some improvement in the frequency of bedbug report violations (with 2024 being the latest recorded notice), the persistent nature of these violations over four consecutive years is notable and indicates potential ongoing challenges with compliance.
