49 Ten Eyck Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement at 49 Ten Eyck Street in Williamsburg, owned by Abelardo Batista and built in 1920, has experienced several notable health and safety concerns over recent years. Most significantly, the building has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, indicating potential ongoing pest management issues.

Additionally, there have been documented rodent-related problems, with a rat sighting in October 2022 that resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene violations requiring follow-up inspections, though subsequent inspections in November 2022 showed compliance. The building's rodent management history shows bait application in September-October 2014, and a more recent inspection in February 2025 related to falling debris, though no violation was warranted at that time.

The pattern of bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024 suggests continued non-compliance with mandatory pest reporting requirements, while the rodent issues, though somewhat addressed through inspections and baiting in 2014 and 2022, indicate an ongoing need for diligence in pest management. The property has shown some responsiveness to inspections, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspection in November 2022 following the October citation, but the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 raises concerns about timely resolution of these issues. The most recent inspection regarding falling debris in February 2025 resulted in no violations, suggesting attention to structural concerns, though this was not the building's primary documented issue category.
