149 Bleecker Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 149 Bleecker Street in Bushwick, owned by Zandra Samuels, has an extensive history of bedbug-related violations over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

While these violations pertain to administrative compliance rather than active infestations, they indicate ongoing issues with the building's pest management protocols. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture of pest control conditions. From 2020 through December 2023, all inspections reported passing results, suggesting effective rodent management during this period.

However, there were two instances of rat activity documented in mid-2024 (June and July), followed by a successful inspection in June 2025. The most recent inspection from June 2025 returned a passing result, indicating potential improvement in rodent control. The combination of repeated bedbug report violations and the recent documented rat activity suggest that while the building has generally maintained compliance with basic housing standards, there are ongoing challenges with pest management and reporting compliance that warrant attention.
