74 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-unit, three-story building at 74 Penn Street in Williamsburg, owned by Robert Kolman and constructed in 1899, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024, both related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Although a bedbug report was filed for the 2020-2021 period showing no infested units and successful eradication of three units, there appears to have been a significant lapse in compliance, with the most recent violations indicating ongoing reporting issues through 2022 and 2023. The building's bedbug history shows a pattern of violations related to reporting requirements rather than active infestations, as evidenced by the 2020-2021 report showing zero infested units.

Prior to the current open violations, there were also bedbug reporting issues noted in March 2022, though those violations were subsequently closed. The most recent open violations in 2023 and 2024 remain unresolved as of the current date. With the building being over 120 years old, and given the documented history of bedbug reporting compliance issues, tenants should be aware of these patterns while noting that the most recent reports show no active infestations, only administrative compliance issues.
