198 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 198 Hawthorne Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Derrick Sepaul and built in 1910, has experienced several notable events regarding maintenance compliance and construction activities. Most significantly, there appears to be an ongoing issue with compliance to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open, despite previous similar violations from 2021 through 2023 being closed.
The building's official bedbug report filing for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 showed no affected units or eradication efforts, which may indicate either successful prevention or potential reporting discrepancies. In mid-2025, the building faced two serious construction-related incidents, including an unpermitted work situation in an occupied multiple dwelling, which resulted in a full stop work order being served, and a work contrary to a stop work order complaint that was investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.
These recent construction violations, occurring in June 2025, suggest potentially concerning management practices regarding building safety and compliance with regulations, though one of these complaints was ultimately found to have no merit. The building's age (115 years old) and its classification as a New Law Tenement suggest it has undergone various modifications and adaptations to meet modern housing regulations over its long history.
