98 Meserole Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 98 Meserole Street in Williamsburg, owned by Ymj Meserole LLC, was constructed in 1920 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced several regulatory and maintenance events over the past decade, with the most recent significant pattern being related to bedbug reporting compliance. Between 2021-2022, the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings (2022 through 2024) have consistently reported zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting improved compliance.

The building underwent a comprehensive review in 2016-2018, during which multiple violations were recorded and subsequently addressed, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms and various safety notice requirements (carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and heating system keyholder notices) in the first-story public hall. Safety-related improvements were documented through permit issuances in February 2019, specifically for plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW). The property has maintained a clean record in recent years regarding both bedbug infestations and rodent control, having passed a rodent inspection in July 2018.

Two complaints regarding alleged illegal activity were filed in early 2019 but were investigated and found to lack warrant for violations at the time of inspection. While the building's history shows periodic regulatory scrutiny and correction of various safety requirements, most recent records (2022-2025) indicate proper compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and other safety requirements. The owners have shown responsiveness to addressing violations, as evidenced by the certified corrections and the current pattern of zero reported violations.
