40 Jewel Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

40 Jewel Street is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Greenpoint and owned by Marzanna Marczak. Built in 1899, this historic property has experienced recurring challenges with bedbug infestations over the past several years.

Most recently, in its 2025 bedbug report, all three units were documented as having experienced infestations, though they were subsequently eradicated, with records showing all units were both infested and re-infested. The building has maintained a consistent violation record from 2021 to 2024, receiving Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code regulations, though these violations have been closed.

Despite the ongoing bedbug issues, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control standards, passing all five rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025, including the most recent inspection in January 2025. The property owner has been active in submitting bedbug reports, with the most recent filings in March 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024. While the building has maintained legal compliance in terms of rodent control, the persistent bedbug infestations and associated reporting violations represent the most significant challenges to resident comfort and building management, particularly noting the relatively recent pattern of re-infestation across all units.
