668 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11206

668 Broadway is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jeraldo Vergara. The building has a documented history of bedbug-related issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2018 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2022-2023 show no infested units or eradications. The most recent building inspections indicate compliance with bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024.

The property has experienced several safety concerns, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded for apartment 7, including issues with a defective smoke detector, non-self-closing doors, an illegally fastened fire escape door, and active bedbug infestation. While these violations remain listed as "Open," the building's recent bedbug report filings suggest successful remediation of these issues. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in 2020 when a defective boiler and other equipment issues resulted in violations and penalties, though these appear to have been resolved based on the absence of outstanding balances.

The building has maintained its rodent-free status since at least 2010, with successful compliance inspections recorded. A recent complaint related to a mobile food vendor's plumbing issue was reported in 2023 and subsequently closed by the Department of Health. While the historical record shows periodic maintenance and safety concerns, the most recent documentation indicates improved conditions, particularly regarding bedbug management, though some older violations from 2018 related to apartment 7's safety features remain unresolved in the system.
