185 Powers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

185 Powers Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Angelo Bruno and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several bedbug reporting compliance issues between 2021 and 2023, receiving multiple Class A Housing Maintenance Code Violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though most recently in 2023, the reports indicated zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting improved pest management practices.

The building's pest control history shows some concerning patterns, with documented rat activity in March 2021, though the property subsequently passed a compliance inspection in May 2021. A rat sighting complaint was recorded in November 2020, leading to a Health Department inspection that found violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Additional concerns about regulatory compliance emerged in March 2022, when a complaint was filed regarding possible illegal hotel rooms in the residential building. The inspection attempt on March 18, 2022, was marked as “Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt.” While the building has faced various compliance challenges, the more recent bedbug reporting demonstrates at least some effort towards meeting regulatory requirements. The property's documented violations and complaints have generally been addressed and closed, though the building's age and history suggest ongoing attention to maintenance and pest control would be prudent for maintaining resident comfort.
