221 South 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 221 South 1st Street in Williamsburg, owned by Fernan Luna, has demonstrated generally good maintenance standards over the past several years. Built in 1900, this New Law Tenement has had no reported infestations of bedbugs during the last three annual reporting periods (2021-2023, 2023-2024, and 2025-2026), with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units according to the most recent bedbug filings. The building underwent necessary repairs and improvements in early 2023, as evidenced by multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and equipment (EQ) work in January 2023.

While there have been some past concerns regarding building systems, these issues appear to have been addressed. A heat and hot water complaint was filed in April 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the condition. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with successful rodent inspections, passing results from March 2019, and no further complaints in this area.

A food establishment complaint was recorded and closed in 2025, though this appears to be related to a neighboring commercial establishment rather than the residential building itself. The property was cited for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though this violation is now resolved based on the most recent 2024 filing showing no infestations. The most recent inspection from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development related to heat and hot water claims remains inconclusive due to lack of access.
