133 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 133 St. Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Karathanal and built in 1910, has experienced several concerning patterns in recent years.
Most notably, there have been recurring violations of the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024, indicating persistent non-compliance with mandatory annual bedbug report filings. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing, but an initial rodent inspection in March 2025 showing rat activity. Historically, the building has maintained relatively good rodent control, with most inspections passing between 2011 and 2024, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in November 2011.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints section shows two recent incidents of concern: an illegal hotel room complaint in July 2024 that could not be verified due to lack of access during inspection, and a vacant/unguarded building complaint in March 2023 that was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While the building's age and size suggest typical urban housing challenges, the repeated bedbug reporting violations and the occasional rodent activity indicate some potential maintenance oversight. The property has undergone a conversion to Class A status, though the specific implications of this classification are not detailed in the provided data.
