271 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 271 Devoe Street in East Williamsburg, owned by Melissa Darling-sherman, has been subject to several housing maintenance code violations over the past four years, with particular attention to bedbug reporting compliance. Most recently, in April 2024 and March 2023, the building received Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were closed.

Notably, during the bedbug reporting period from November 2020 to October 2021, the building reported no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. The building has demonstrated good pest control management in terms of rodent activity, passing inspections in October 2024 and June 2010, with only one recorded instance of rat activity in May 2010 which was subsequently addressed.

While the bedbug reporting violations indicate some administrative non-compliance, the absence of actual infestations during the reporting periods suggests effective pest management. The property, built in 1900, continues to maintain its status as a New Law Tenement, a designation typically referring to buildings constructed prior to 1901 that were subject to specific housing regulations.
