528 State Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 528 State Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Yoram Confino, has a documented history of pest control compliance issues over recent years, most notably concerning bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. Since 2021, there have been four consecutive open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent citation occurring in April 2024.

While rodent-related complaints have emerged, with the most recent being a rat sighting reported in October 2021 (which the Department of Health was unable to inspect), the building has generally passed several rodent inspections conducted between 2013 and 2022, with the exception of one instance of recorded rat activity in July 2017. An unrelated complaint regarding illegal after-hours work was filed in September 2021, but no violations were found upon inspection.

The building's overall treatment of pest-related issues shows a pattern of compliance with rodent inspections, though the missed bedbug reporting requirements represent a recurring regulatory oversight. Both the rodent inspections and the rat sighting indicate that while pest issues have been present, they have generally been addressed promptly through inspections, with most inspections resulting in "Passed" ratings. The persistent bedbug report violations, spanning from 2021 through 2024, highlight an ongoing administrative compliance issue that differs from the more sporadic pest problems noted in the rodent inspection records.
