452 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-story residential building at 452 East 9th Street in Kensington, owned by Shraga Werner and constructed in 1965, has experienced several notable issues and regulatory requirements over recent years. The building has maintained a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with citations issued each year for failing to file the required annual bedbug report per Housing Maintenance Code requirements. However, recent bedbug reporting from 2025 shows no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units for the 2023-2024 reporting period, suggesting potential compliance with bedbug reporting requirements as of mid-2025.

The building has also faced some access-related issues with Department of Buildings inspections, including complaints in 2021 and 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access during second final attempts. In 2028, there was an Environmental Control Board violation concerning boiler flue materials and gas pilot regulator issues, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. More recently, a violation for failure to file an energy benchmarking report was issued in 2023, though this was dismissed in 2025 based on proof of compliance.

It's worth noting that the building currently shows no active violations on record as of July 2025, indicating improved regulatory compliance in recent months. The historical bedbug data from 2020 to 2025 consistently shows zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any units, suggesting effective pest management despite the previous reporting violations. The building's violation history shows a pattern of regulatory compliance issues primarily related to administrative requirements (bedbug reporting, energy benchmarking) rather than significant safety concerns, with most violations being resolved or dismissed upon subsequent inspections or proof of compliance.
