59 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

59 South 3rd Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Grant Wheeler. The property has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most concerning pattern being two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to timely file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.

There have been two separate complaints regarding illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms in the building between 2019 and 2022, both of which were marked "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt," suggesting potential concerns about compliance with building regulations. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a clean record since 2022, with all bedbug reports covering the periods from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating successful pest management practices.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 covering the 2023-2024 period again showed no infestation issues. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in December 2022 resulted in a passing score, further suggesting attention to building maintenance and hygiene standards. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the violations in 2021-2022, though the historical violations and access issues during inspections indicate areas requiring ongoing monitoring for regulatory compliance.
