117 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

117 South 1st Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Fredrik Wide. The building has faced recurring issues over recent years, most notably regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to HPD. While these violations are administrative in nature, their persistent nature suggests potential management oversight.

The property has also experienced rodent-related concerns, with a rat sighting recorded in November 2024, though an inspection conducted the same day found only minor violations and passed inspection. This was preceded by another rodent inspection in April 2019, which also resulted in a passing grade, indicating generally satisfactory pest control management, despite the recent sighting. The building has undergone annual inspections for both bedbug compliance and rodent presence, with the most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 showing regulatory attention to pest management.

As of October 2023, the most significant open violations pertain to the repeated non-filing of bedbug reports, which currently remain open as of April 2024. While these violations do not necessarily indicate an active infestation, they suggest a pattern of documentation lapses. The building's maintenance record shows a mixture of passed inspections and minor violations, particularly regarding rodent control, though the recent rat sighting and its associated inspection indicate that while such issues are being addressed, they do occur. The property's overall inspection history suggests regular monitoring by authorities, with most inspections resulting in passing grades, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant area of concern in the building's maintenance record.
