191 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 191 Withers Street in Williamsburg, owned by Hannah Foster, was completed in 2018 following a construction period marked by several significant events and safety concerns. During construction in 2018-2019, the property experienced multiple safety violations, including inadequate fencing, missing sidewalk sheds, and improper material storage, resulting in penalties totaling $27,500 across various Environmental Control Board violations.

Construction-related disturbances were reported, including a building stability complaint in May 2019, though inspectors found no violations at that time. The building's construction permits issued in 2018-2020 showed typical progression, with several permits being re-issued and properly documented through to completion. Since its completion, the building has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), with all recent bedbug reports showing zero affected units.

The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections, including recent complaints in 2024 about adjacent buildings, which were found to have no violations. The most recent building-related activity includes closed complaints from earlier this year (2024) - one where the inspector couldn't gain access and another regarding adjacent buildings, both of which resulted in no violations being recorded. The property has had regular compliance inspections since construction, with no major recurring issues noted post-completion, suggesting stable management and maintenance practices in recent years.
