134 Penn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 4-story, 5-unit building at 134 Penn Street in Williamsburg, owned by Frady Karpen and constructed in 1899, has experienced consistent issues with bedbug report compliance between 2021 and 2024, with eight open Housing Maintenance Code violations specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. The property underwent several construction-related activities between 2018 and 2020, with multiple permits issued and several construction safety compliance complaints filed in 2019 and 2020, including instances of stop work orders and Oath violations, with one particular incident in 2019 leading to a $2,500 penalty for failure to maintain proper construction supervision.
While most of these construction-related issues have been resolved, an important safety concern from 1983 regarding the central heating plant enclosure in the cellar was only certified as corrected in May 2018, though this is quite dated in comparison to more recent events. The building's recent history shows a pattern of bedbug report non-compliance that has persisted for several years, with the most recent violations recorded in 2024.
The property owner has managed to resolve numerous construction-related issues and received multiple permits between 2018 and 2020 for various work, including plumbing and alteration projects. The only significant environmental or safety violation noted was regarding construction supervision in 2019, which was resolved with a penalty. While there are no currently pending violations as of 2025, the persistent bedbug report compliance issues suggest ongoing challenges with adherence to housing maintenance requirements.
