68 Heyward Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

68 Heyward Street is a four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Yakov Goldstein, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The building has had consistent monitoring and reporting requirements related to bedbug incidents over the past several years.

Notably, from 2021 through 2024, there were four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all these violations were marked as closed. The most recent report from May 2024 indicated no infested dwelling units during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023, with similar findings in the previous report from March 2022 covering November 2020 to October 2021, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Additionally, the building experienced a Department of Buildings violation related to elevator safety in 2019, which was dismissed in 2020. This violation, issued in April 2019, concerned 2017 violations issued to elevators in private residential dwellings and was classified as Category 1, for which a penalty was paid and the matter was officially dismissed in June 2020. While the bedbug reporting history suggests proper documentation and reporting procedures were eventually followed, the pattern of violations in 2021-2024 indicates there were initially some compliance issues, though these appear to have been rectified as evidenced by the clean reports for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
