157 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-family residence at 157 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Yaron Shemesh, is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1905. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2017, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no issues.
However, there is a notable pattern of non-compliance with housing regulations, particularly in 2016 and 2018. In 2016, there were two failed rodent inspections for unspecified reasons, and in 2018, there was a significant violation related to illegal occupancy and egress issues, which resulted in a $1,030 penalty.
This violation involved the removal or defacement of a posted vacate order that had been issued in September 2016. Additionally, in May 2018, there was a housing maintenance violation involving an illegal lockable hasp installed at the shuttle hatch cover in the second-floor apartment, though this violation has since been closed. The building's maintenance history suggests attention to pest control, with eight consecutive passing inspections between 2017 and 2025, though the violations from 2016-2018 indicate some past regulatory non-compliance that appears to have been addressed.
