152 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 152 South 3rd Street in Williamsburg, owned by David Ruiz, has been subject to several notable regulatory events over recent years, with particular attention needed to its bedbug reporting compliance. The building, constructed in 1899, has recorded multiple violations related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024.

While there was one period (2019-2020) for which a bedbug report was filed showing no infested units or eradication efforts, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing noncompliance with reporting requirements, which may indicate potential bedding infestation risk. The building has undergone routine pest inspections, with rodent inspections showing mixed results: an initial inspection in March 2015 showed rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2015 and 2019 resulted in passing grades.

The property appears to have maintained compliance with basic safety requirements, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations are noteworthy, particularly given their continuation into 2024, suggesting persistent challenges with maintaining timely compliance with NYC Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building's age and history of pest-related violations would typically warrant attention to ongoing maintenance practices, though no recent violations beyond the bedbug reporting issues have been recorded in the available data.
