AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit building at 3488 Ft Independence Street in Kingsbridge, owned by Elisa Medina, has a history dating back to 1899 as a three-story structure classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A". The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control standards, passing inspections from 2013 through 2018 with no recorded violations. However, there is an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with three open violations recorded between 2022 and 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. These violations appear to be administrative in nature, as the building's 2021 report covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infested or previously infested units. The most recent bedbug-related violation remains open as of April 2024, marking three consecutive years of non-compliance with this particular requirement, though the actual infestation status of the building remains unconfirmed and potentially unrelated to the reporting oversight. The building's records reflect regular maintenance and inspections for pest control, with no documented history of rodent issues in recent years, suggesting overall good building management practices aside from the bedbug reporting discrepancies.
