157 Hope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

157 Hope Street is a historic three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Elvin Lopez. The building has experienced recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with open violations recorded in April 2024 and March 2023, along with previous violations in February 2022 and April 2021.

Notably, the building's bedbug reporting history shows compliance in 2022, with the filing covering the 2020-2021 period indicating no infested or re-infested dwelling units during that time. The property underwent rodent inspections in December 2018, and both inspections passed without incident.

The persistence of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, including recent open violations, warrants attention, though it's worth noting that the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 with no indicated infestations during that reporting period. The absence of recent rodent-related issues since 2018, following two consecutive passed inspections, suggests effective pest management practices in that regard. The building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its late 19th-century construction date and typical of many properties in the Williamsburg neighborhood.
