259 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 259 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg, owned by Lourdes Lebron and dating back to 1899, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code. Specifically, there are four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, all citing failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

These violations, while not directly indicating a bedbug infestation, suggest ongoing non-compliance with basic pest management regulations. The most recent open violation dates to April 2024, and notably, there are no recorded certifications of compliance for any of these bedbug-related violations.

In terms of other building inspections, a rodent inspection conducted in December 2018 resulted in a passing grade, which indicates that while the property had met the standards at that time, this is now over six years ago and was not a mandatory inspection category for subsequent years. The building's violation history raises questions about ongoing pest management oversight, particularly given the consistent pattern of bedbug report non-compliance over multiple years, though it should be noted that these violations do not directly indicate the presence of live bedbugs in the building.
