219 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 12-unit, 7-story residential building at 219 Withers Street in Williamsburg, owned by Roopa Hill, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several notable events over its history, particularly during the 2019-2022 period. Most recently, in April 2024, a violation was issued for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no bedbug infestations were reported.

Between 2019 and 2021, the building faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including issues related to construction work (2019), building shaking concerns (2019), and elevator deficiencies (2019), though many of these violations were either dismissed or resolved. A significant active violation from November 2019 remains on record regarding damage to the driveway sustained from construction operations at the adjacent property (229 Withers Street).

The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly in 2021, when there were complaints about plumbing issues and unpermitted work, as well as an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access. However, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the yearly reports filed from 2017 through 2024, and the most recent bedbug report (December 2024 filing for 2023-2024 period) shows all units as either free of infestations or having successfully eradicated any previous cases. The building's current status shows fewer complaints and violations compared to the 2019-2021 period, though the April 2024 bedbug report filing violation suggests some ongoing administrative compliance issues.
