252 Heyward Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, five-unit Old Law Tenement building at 252 Heyward Street in Williamsburg, owned by Shaul Zelikovits and constructed in 1931, has been the subject of recurring housing maintenance issues over the past several years.

Most notably, there is a concerning pattern of non-compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirement under Section HMC, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating the owner has consistently failed to file the required reports despite multiple notices. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results in 2013, with an initial inspection in May resulting in failure for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection in July passed.

The frequency and persistence of the bedbug report violations over the past four years suggest an ongoing challenge with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though these violations do not directly indicate an active infestation. The building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its construction period, and while the rodent inspection results are dated (from 2013), they represent the only other documented compliance issues on record.
