96 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 96 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Nuria Williams and constructed in 1905, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there is an open violation from 2024 regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern of non-compliance that has persisted since 2021.

The building has also faced significant safety and security issues, particularly in September 2018 when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with a defective front entrance lock (open Class C violation), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Unit 1, and non-compliance with required safety notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information guides. While some violations from 2018 were closed by November 2018, the building's safety systems have remained a concern.

Recent rodent activity has been a major issue, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2025, including three instances in June 2025 and earlier activity detected in April 2025. This follows a pattern of rodent-related problems, as evidenced by inspections showing rat activity in multiple years, including 2016 and 2022. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved issues and ongoing violations, with the most pressing concerns currently being the lack of required bedbug reporting and the recent rodent activity, suggesting persistent challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
