169 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

169 Bleecker Street is a three-story, six-unit tenement building in Bushwick, owned by Bing Du and constructed in 1931. The building has undergone regular scrutiny by health and housing authorities, with notable incidents concentrated around 2021. In April 2021, multiple violations were documented, including inadequate heating/hot water in apartment 1B, obstructed fire escape egress, and the need to file annual bedbug reports.

These issues, along with a rodent sighting that same month, were subsequently addressed and closed. Recent inspections show a significant focus on rodent control, with regular monitoring since 2021. While there were some instances of rat activity and bait application in 2021-2022, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2023 through mid-2025.

The property maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 onwards, with no reported infestations or units requiring eradication between 2022-2025. Of particular note, a violation regarding the removal of household items from public spaces (including a shoe rack in the first-story hallway) remains open as of April 2021, though most other historical violations have been properly addressed. The building's maintenance history from 2021 to 2025 indicates a generally improved condition, with successful resolution of the majority of past violations and regular oversight of pest control measures. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 continued the building's pattern of passing inspections, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance and resident health concerns.
