244 North 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
244 North 5th Street is a five-story residential building in Williamsburg, owned by Brian Wegrzyn and constructed in 1970, containing 5 units. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning being multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, as noted in six separate violations issued in 2023.
A recent rat sighting complaint in May 2025 resulted in violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with follow-up inspections scheduled. The building has maintained an apparently successful bedbug management strategy over the past four years, with no reported infestations in its annual bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025, though violations were noted in 2021-2023 for failure to file annual reports.
Historical rodent issues have been documented, with initial rat activity noted in February 2019 and a failed inspection for other reasons in June 2025, though previous inspections in 2009 and 2019 had passed. A zoning complaint from 2021 was determined to have no warrant for violation at the time of inspection.
