228 Boerum Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206
228 Boerum Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Baruch Davidson. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues, as evidenced by several violations and complaints over the past few years.
Most notably, in September 2023, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection at that time found no violations. More concerning is an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has multiple open violations from September 2023 inspections that require attention, including safety concerns such as non-self-closing doors at both the front entrance and vestibule (Class C violations), structural issues with the front cornice (Class B violation), and the need for proper gas leak notification postings (Class A violation).
The property has a documented history of rodent activity, though recent inspections have shown improvement, with a passed rodent inspection in October 2023. Of particular note are two separate illegal conversion complaints filed in 2020 and 2023, both of which resulted in "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" findings on the second final attempt. The building has a documented history of baiting for rat activity in 2012, with multiple treatments applied consecutively over several months, though subsequent compliance inspections indicated improvement at that time.
