405 Legion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 405 Legion Street in Brownsville, owned by Morris Wilson, was constructed in 1930 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has undergone several regulatory inspections and faced multiple housing maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building received four identical Class A violations related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

Additionally, in January 2018, there were two Class B violations in the second-floor apartment (2F) concerning mold/mildew issues in the bathroom ceiling and a defective doorbell, though these violations are now marked as closed. The building has had an ongoing rodent control program, with multiple bait applications recorded between May and December 2023, suggesting persistent rodent activity. A compliance inspection in May 2023 confirmed rat activity, while a subsequent compliance inspection in December 2023 passed.

The most recent issues of concern include a complaint filed in June 2025 regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, though this complaint was closed in July 2025 due to the inspector's inability to gain access. This building has been actively managing its pest control issues, as evidenced by the recent bedbug report filing in June 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the period between November 2023 and October 2024. While the property has faced several regulatory challenges, including persistent rodent issues and multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting, recent inspections suggest some improvement in pest management, with the most current bedbug report indicating no active infestations in the past year.
