224 Hawthorne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

224 Hawthorne Street is a 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently containing 9 units and owned by Jacob Zimmerman. The building has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly around 2020 when there was significant construction activity involving vertical and horizontal additions to the existing structure. During this period, multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations were recorded, primarily related to scaffold installation and construction safety protocols, though all were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with regular bedbug reports filed from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested units during the past five reporting periods. The property has faced some health and safety challenges, including a September 2019 rodent-related violation, though subsequent inspections in November 2019 passed compliance checks. Earlier maintenance issues from the late 1990s included plumbing and structural problems, particularly in the cellar area, but these were all resolved, with most being certified as corrected by 2021.

Recent building management appears to be maintaining the property more actively, as evidenced by the regular bedbug reporting system and prompt attention to health department inspections. The sidewalk shed complaints from 2020, while generating inspection activity, were found to have no violations warranting further action. The most recent permit activity, dating from 2020, indicates proper documentation and approval processes were followed for building modifications.
