196 Russell Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

196 Russell Street is a three-unit, three-story New Law tenement building located in Greenpoint and owned by John Dishman. Built in 1910, the building has had several recorded incidents related to pest management over the past few years.

Most notably, from 2021 to 2024, the building received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all these violations were subsequently closed. Recent bedbug reporting from April 2024 shows no infested units during the previous reporting period (2022-2023), and previous filings from 2022 also indicated no infested units, suggesting successful compliance with bedbug reporting requirements following the violations. The building's pest management history extends beyond bedbugs, with records showing rodent activity in 2018, when an initial inspection found evidence of rat presence, though a follow-up compliance inspection later that year reported passing results.

The Department of Buildings records indicate two failed compliance inspections in 2010, though the specific reasons were not detailed in the available data. A plumbing permit was issued in July 2018 (Permit Sequence Number 02, Job Number 321776850). While the building has experienced periodic pest management challenges, recent records indicate improved compliance with both bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, with no current active violations on record as of April 2024.
