102 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 102 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Arlene Smith, has been standing since 2005 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is the building's current status, with multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules from 2021 through 2024, representing a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements that could impact resident comfort and safety.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, exemplified by a reported heavy flow water leak in May 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem at that time. More recently, in late 2023, there was an allegation of illegal conversion associated with the property, though inspection attempts were denied.

The building's inspection and complaint history suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding pest management reporting requirements, though it's worth noting that water-related issues from 2019 appear to have been addressed if not completely resolved, given the access denial during inspection. The pattern of open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggests a potential oversight in maintaining proper documentation and compliance with city housing regulations over multiple years.
