326 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 326 Eldert Street in Bushwick, owned by Edward Jacobs, has been standing since 1912 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past four years, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all relating to non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.

These recurring violations raise concerns about the building's pest management protocols and documentation compliance. On a more positive note, the building's rodent inspections have shown consistent improvement, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2024.

Going back through the building's recent history, a Department of Buildings complaint from July 2018 regarding permit issues was investigated in September of the same year and resulted in no violation being warranted. While the building has generally maintained rodent control compliance in recent years, the persistent bedbug report violation suggests ongoing challenges with documentation requirements, though it's worth noting that not all violations necessarily indicate current pest issues, as they may pertain to administrative compliance.
