53 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249
The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 53 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by John Barney, has a 115-year history dating back to 1910.
Recent records (from 2021 through 2025) show a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) citation appearing annually from 2021 to 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report. These violations, while officially closed, suggest previous administrative oversight regarding pest management compliance.
However, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug filings (2024-2025) indicate no active infestations during the reporting periods, as all reported units (for the periods November 2023 to October 2024 and November 2022 to October 2023) show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building had similar clean records in the 2019-2020 period, suggesting that while there were compliance issues regarding timely reporting, the actual pest control situation appears to have been effectively managed when infestations did occur, with no confirmed persistent issues in recent years.
