400 Vermont Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 400 Vermont Street in East New York, owned by Edy Rodriguez and constructed in 1910, has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance issues, though recent records show improvement in certain areas. Most notably, the building has consistently faced bedbug reporting compliance issues from 2021 to 2023, with violations recorded in March of each year between 2021-2023 for failing to submit required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing in December 2023 indicates no active infestations during the reporting period.

The most significant cluster of violations occurred in early 2018, when multiple issues were identified during a January 29 inspection, including unsafe electrical wiring in the vestibule, defective locks at the building entrance, broken plaster at bulkhead walls, and encumbrances in the third-story bulkhead stairs. These violations also included safety-related concerns that required attention to emergency procedures, such as posting gas leak procedures and smoke detector requirements in common areas, all of which were certified as corrected by March-April 2018.

The building also underwent successful rodent inspections in 2019 and 2012, passing both evaluations. While the historical violations indicate past maintenance and safety concerns, the building's most recent records (2023) show no active basic safety violations, though the bedbug reporting compliance issues persisted through 2023 until the final report submission in December 2023.
