560 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

560 Williams Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in East New York, built in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building, owned by Wallace Descartes, has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance checks over the past four years, with all reports from 2021 through 2025 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

Interestingly, despite four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these violations were ultimately closed. The most recent bedbug report for the period 2023-2024, filed in June 2025, continued the pattern of showing no infestation issues. Prior to the bedbug reporting period (2012-2015), the building underwent rat inspections in 2011 and 2012, both of which resulted in passing grades, suggesting good pest management practices.

The building's historical violation record is noteworthy for its consistency, with annual bedbug reporting violations being documented each year from 2021 through 2024, though these violations have since been addressed through proper reporting. The most recent bedbug report in 2025 indicates full compliance with the reporting requirements. It's worth mentioning that the absence of reported infestations in the bedbug reports, combined with the building's passing scores on rodent inspections, suggests effective pest management practices have been implemented in recent years, despite the historical compliance issues.
