317 South 5Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit building at 317 South 5th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Alan Messner and constructed in 1915, is currently facing multiple compliance challenges as of 2025. Most notably, there are recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug report filing requirements.

The building has also experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2019 and 2021, including instances of rat activity noted in June and August 2021, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge. The property underwent several improvement efforts between 2018 and 2020, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and alteration (AL) work.

These permits, dated between March 2018 and July 2020, were properly issued and documented through the Department of Buildings system. While the permit records indicate some level of maintenance and improvement work being performed, the recurring bedbug violations and historical rodent activity, combined with the lack of recent bedbug reporting compliance, suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining optimal resident living conditions. The building's age and history of pest-related violations highlight the importance of continued monitoring of any new inspection results or compliance updates.
