230 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
230 North 5th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1901 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Bill Lika. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with two notable heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in December 2022, though this issue was reportedly resolved within a few days.
The building has been subject to consistent bedbug reporting violations under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, indicating non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements. Additionally, a Class C violation was noted in December 2022 regarding a defective or missing self-closing door at the building entrance on the first story. The property's record also reveals a concerning history of rodent activity, with documented rat problems in 2019 (both initial and compliance inspections failed) and July 2016 (passed), though the inspections from September 2016 showed compliance.
While these violations are from several years ago, their recurrence suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The combination of these open violations—particularly those related to bedbug reporting requirements—could indicate potential ongoing management issues. The building's age (124 years old as of 2025) and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" further contextualize these maintenance and compliance challenges.
