224 Berry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 224 Berry Street in Williamsburg, owned by Joseph Kroczynski, has maintained a generally positive record since its 1910 construction, though certain issues warrant attention. Most recently, in June 2023, a rat sighting complaint was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations.

The building has consistently filed bedbug reports from 2019 to 2025, with no infested units recorded in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024). However, there is a notable pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violation notices regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2024. The only significant historical cluster of issues occurred in 2005 in apartment 3L, where multiple violations were documented including missing smoke detectors, defective radiator shut-off valves, inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, and the lack of carbon monoxide detecting devices - all of which were certified as corrected by 2019.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2023 passing without issues, though there was documented rat activity in April 2019. An inspection in August 2021 related to special operations compliance found no violations. Overall, while the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent records indicate improved compliance with health and safety requirements, particularly regarding bedbug management and rodent control.
