50 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 50 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Robert Beswick and constructed in 1900, has experienced consistent regulatory oversight regarding bedbug reporting over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), marking the first unresolved violation in this pattern.

The building's bedbug reporting history is somewhat contradictory; while the 2023 report for the filing period from November 2021 to October 2022 showed zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, the building has received four previous bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, all of which were subsequently closed - suggesting either reporting compliance or errors in submission acknowledgement, though the most recent violation remains unresolved. The building has also faced two complaints in the past five years that warrant mention.

A 2023 complaint regarding an allegedly illegal certificate of occupancy was closed due to an inspector's inability to gain access during the second final attempt in October 2023, while a 2018 complaint about illegal after-hours work was also closed, with no violation warranting action at the time of inspection. While the bedbug reporting irregularities and complaints suggest some patterns requiring oversight, it's notable that the most recent bedbug-related violation from April 2024 remains the only currently open violation in this documented history.
