86 South 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

86 South 4th Street is a three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Jasper Cooper. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues over the past several years, with the most recent incidents occurring in March 2024, including one inspection that could not gain access to the premises.

These recent complaints follow a pattern of rodent-related issues documented in 2022, including two separate inspections in June and July 2022 that confirmed rat activity on the property. The building has also received two Notices of Violation in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent bedbug reporting for the 2022-2023 period shows no confirmed infestations or affected units.

The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, including a Department of Buildings complaint from December 2020 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final inspection attempt in May 2021. While the building has had multiple pest-related complaints over the years, it's worth noting that recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no recorded infestations, suggesting that particular issue may have been successfully addressed. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with pest control, particularly regarding rodents, though some recent complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, as was the case with the March 2024 unsanitary condition complaint that was closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
