172 Frost Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
172 Frost Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Yi Li. The building experienced a significant heat and hot water outage in March 2023 that affected the entire building, though services were reportedly restored the same day according to tenant reports and HPD response.
The property has maintained a consistent pattern of annual bedbug reporting violations, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving violations under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed. Notably, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 for the period covering November 2022 to October 2023 shows no instances of infestation (0 infested units, 0 eradicated units, and 0 re-infested units), suggesting effective resolution of this ongoing compliance issue. The building's inspection history shows one Department of Buildings complaint from February 2020 regarding an unpermitted work permit, though this was classified as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt.
While the heat/hot water outage in 2023 represented a significant facility issue, it appears to have been an isolated incident based on available records. The property has maintained its basic three-unit configuration and retains its historic classification as an Old Law Tenement. The repeated bedbug reporting violations, though concerning, have been effectively addressed in the most recent reporting period, as indicated by the 2024 filing showing no infestation cases.
