97 North 7th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 97 North 7th Street in Williamsburg, built in 1910 and currently owned by Alexandra Derby, has experienced several notable pest-related issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2023, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to submit its annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed.

A similar violation was issued in March 2022, and another in April 2021, all relating to the required bedbug reporting under § HMC. The building has had an ongoing history with rodent management, particularly evident during 2021 when multiple bait applications were documented between April and July (six applications in total), following an initial successful inspection where bait was applied on April 22.

The most recent rodent-related incident was reported through 311 services in April 2022, though this investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. Notably, the bedbug situation appears to have improved, as the 2024 bedbug report (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) shows no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting successful resolution of this particular issue.
