72 Jackson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 72 Jackson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Gerardo Zollo, has had several notable events regarding pest management and building maintenance over recent years.

Most significantly, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to the failure to timely file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded in both 2024 and 2023, following previous violations in 2022 and 2021 that were eventually closed. Interestingly, the building's official bedbug reporting from July 2022 covering the period from November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, suggesting either effective management of the issue or possible reporting discrepancies.

Prior to these bedbug-related concerns, the building experienced a rodent issue in August 2017, when rat activity was detected during an initial inspection, though a subsequent compliance inspection in September 2017 showed the building passed the inspection, indicating that the rodent problem was addressed. While the building is over 100 years old and located in an active neighborhood, the most pressing current concern appears to be the repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, which while administrative in nature, could potentially indicate broader management system challenges within the building.
