71 Lynch Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 71 Lynch Street in Williamsburg, owned by Leah Jacobowitz and constructed in 2003, has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the New York City Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years. Most notably, the building has accumulated three open violations between 2022 and 2024, all relating to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

These violations, documented on March 9, 2022, March 31, 2023, and April 17, 2024, are classified as type A violations, though these specific incidents did not indicate any actual bedbug infestations within the building. The building's most recent bedbug report, filed on May 31, 2021, covered the period from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2020, and revealed no recorded instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during that reporting period.

While the property has maintained an apparently bedbug-free status according to the available reporting period data, the pattern of violations regarding report filing requirements raises concerns about the building's compliance with other housing maintenance standards. The most recent open violation from April 2024 remains unresolved as of the current date, July 2025, though it is important to note that not all violation types directly correlate to safety or habitability concerns.
