107 Nichols Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

107 Nichols Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Cirilo Rodriguez in the Cypress Hills neighborhood. The building's most notable recent concerns are related to compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, with three consecutive open violations in 2023 and 2024 that remain unresolved.

These violations stem from the building's failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports, a recurring issue as similar violations were documented in 2022 (though this was subsequently closed) and 2021 (also closed). Interestingly, despite these reporting violations, the bedbug report filing for the period of November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting the building may have maintained a bedbug-free status during that period.

Looking further back into the building's history, a rodent inspection conducted in March 2012 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant rodent issues at that time. The pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years raises concerns about the building's compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements, though the absence of actual infestation cases reported in the filings provides some context. The building's relatively small size of three units suggests that any maintenance issues could potentially affect all residents.
