23 Hope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 23 Hope Street in Williamsburg, owned by Louise Diaz and built in 1899, has a concerning pattern of bedbug reporting violations over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report as per NYC Housing Maintenance Code, with similar violations issued in March 2023, February 2022, and in 2021 when the violation was ultimately closed.

The bedbug reports from 2021 indicated a filing period covering late 2019 to late 2020 with no documented infestations or eradications during that period. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, starting with an initial rat activity finding in January 2019, though a follow-up compliance inspection in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

This historical data shows that while the building has had rodent concerns in early 2019 (which appear to have been resolved), its most persistent issue has been the failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024. The repeated nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance requirements, though it's worth noting that the actual bedbug infestation status within the building remains unclear from the available data. The building's age as an Old Law Tenement structure is consistent with its designation in the NYC building classification system.
