82 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 82 Degraw Street in the Columbia Street neighborhood, owned by Ben Vanmeerendonk and constructed in 1900, has consistently demonstrated compliance with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years. The building has received four Housing Maintenance Code violations since 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

However, these violations appear to have been promptly addressed, as evidenced by the subsequent timely filings. The bedbug reports for the property, filed in April 2024 and August 2021, show no evidence of infestation during the respective reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2019-2020), with the reports indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The regular pattern of violations and subsequent corrections suggests that while there were initial compliance issues, the owner has taken steps to meet the reporting requirements, with the most recent report confirming no infestations during the annual period. The building's oldest violation was recorded in 2021, which suggests that prior to this period, there may have been previous lapses in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.
