242 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
242 North 5th Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building owned by Janet Villiano in Williamsburg, constructed in 1901. The property has persistent and recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation being recorded in April 2024.
These violations, while not directly indicating an active infestation, suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to required reporting protocols under HPD rules. The building has experienced rodent activity, with documented rat sightings in December 2019, February 2019, and a 2009 inspection, though subsequent inspections in December 2019 and March 2019 showed compliance with rodent control measures.
The most recent rodent-related inspections from 2019 are now significantly outdated, given the typical relevance of such information in evaluating current conditions. While the building has demonstrated some ability to address these issues through successive compliance inspections, the recurring nature of both bedbug report violations and historical rodent activity warrants attention to the building's ongoing pest management practices.
