44 Scholes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

44 Scholes Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by David Sofer and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The building underwent a series of significant inspections and violations during 2022-2023, with the most substantial cluster of issues occurring in June 2022, when multiple violations were documented regarding building safety and maintenance requirements. These included problems with posting required notices about smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detectors, and bedbug reporting, as well as issues with door maintenance and refuse accumulation in the front yard.

The building experienced pest-related concerns in June 2022, leading to multiple complaints, though inspections did not result in any formal violations. Most recently, the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods (2022-2025). A notable inspection in March 2023 resulted in a violation regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved.

The building has shown consistent attention to addressing violations when issued, as evidenced by the "Close" status on all documented violations. The property underwent significant administrative requirements updates in 2022, including the proper posting of various safety notices and the maintenance of entrance requirements, which were all certified as resolved by June 2022. Since then, there have been no major reported issues, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes and reduced resident safety concerns.
