AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, four-unit building at 137-21 218th Street in Laurelton, owned by Julien Theodule, has maintained a relatively stable record over the past several years. Built in 1931 and classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, it has shown consistent adherence to bedbug reporting requirements, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2024 indicating zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building has received three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though these violations appear to be administrative in nature given the subsequent corrected filings.

Most notably, there is currently an active complaint from February 2025 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, though details about this complaint's nature or potential impact on residents are not yet available in the records. While the bedbug reporting violations and the recent Local Law complaint warrant attention, it's important to note that these issues do not appear to directly relate to any ongoing resident safety or habitability concerns, particularly given the zero infestation history documented in the most recent bedbug reports. The building's overall pattern shows prompt resolution of administrative violations, with no documented history of bedbug infestations affecting any units since at least 2019.
