99 North 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

99 North 4th Street in Williamsburg is a 4-story, 8-unit Class A residential building completed in 2019 and currently owned by Charles Schwartz. The building experienced notable pest issues in 2021, with multiple complaints about vermin including bedbugs and centipedes in apartment 1A, leading to Housing Maintenance Code violations that were finally certified as abated in November 2023.

There was also a slow water leak and ceiling paint/plaster issue reported and investigated in July 2021, with varying outcomes regarding violations. Initially, during construction in 2019, there were several safety violations documented by the Department of Buildings, including problems with scaffolding, guardrails, and inadequate housekeeping which resulted in penalties totaling $4,500, though these violations were later resolved. The building's recent history shows improvement in pest control, with no bedbug or rodent activity reported in the past three verification periods (2023-2025), and all recent bedbug filings showing zero infested units.

This marks a significant turnaround from the 2021 conditions. The construction period also saw some compliance issues with site safety, including problems with safety fences and sidewalk sheds, which were generally resolved through inspections. The building has undergone regular inspections and maintenance since completion, with the last known significant issues being the 2021 pest problems, which appears to have been effectively addressed given the recent inspection outcomes.
