345 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 345 Union Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by 345 Union Inc and constructed in 2005, has demonstrated a generally proactive approach to pest management and building maintenance over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of filing bedbug reports, with the most recent reports in 2025, 2024, and 2023 indicating zero infested units or eradications during their respective reporting periods.

The building has promptly addressed all Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, as evidenced by their closure status. The property has faced some mechanical and safety maintenance challenges, as documented in Department of Buildings violations. An active ECB violation from 2018 remains on record, detailing multiple elevator-related issues, including inoperative zone lock restrictors, incorrect fire signage, and a leaking piston, for which a $1,000 penalty was imposed.

Additional DOB violations were recorded in 2020 (resolved by July 2020 through repair work by Otis Elev Company) and 2021 (currently active). The building has undergone three rodent inspections between 2017-2019, with initial inspections showing rat activity in December 2018, though the subsequent compliance inspection in January 2019 passed. While the building has faced certain mechanical and pest-related challenges, the regularity of bedbug reporting and timely response to violations suggests attentive management of resident concerns, though the persistence of some mechanical issues warrants attention.
