242 South 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
242 South 5th Street is a four-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1911 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Lofts 1 Condominium. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through early 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.
The property has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2022 and 2024, all related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though these violations have been closed according to records. The Department of Buildings has recorded two complaints regarding the property in recent years: a sidewalk shed issue in October 2023 and a sweep inspection in February 2022, both of which were inspected and found not to warrant any violations.
A rodent inspection conducted in December 2018 resulted in a passing grade. The building's documentation suggests generally proactive management, particularly regarding pest control, though the recurring bedbug report violation notices indicate some administrative oversight issues in this area, which appear to have been resolved as indicated by recent filings.
