499 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 499 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Shana Evans and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant events over the past decade that are worth noting. Most notably, there was a housing maintenance code violation in April 2021 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed.

The property has shown a concerning pattern with bedbug infestations, particularly in 2020-2021 when all four units were affected and required eradication efforts. However, since then, there has been a marked improvement: the most recent four consecutive bedbug reports from December 2021 through December 2024 have documented zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting successful ongoing maintenance and monitoring of this issue. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with a failed initial inspection in May 2014 for unspecified reasons, followed by a successful compliance inspection in June 2014.

While these episodes suggest some historical challenges with pest management, the more recent bedbug reporting history indicates improved conditions. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in subsequent years, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 showing no infestations in any units. The building's age (95 years as of 2025) and relatively small size (four units) are typical for its classification as a New Law Tenement in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood.
