26 Wyckoff Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement at 26 Wyckoff Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Vincent Biscaino and built in 1899, has a concerning and ongoing pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations (in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024) for failing to file the mandated annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. While these violations are primarily administrative in nature, they suggest a neglect of protocol regarding pest management and reporting.

In terms of pest control and building maintenance, there have been both positive and troubling developments in recent months. Most recently, in March 2025, the building passed a compliance rodent inspection, following an initial inspection in February 2025 that identified rat activity. This pattern suggests that while the immediate rodent issue may have been addressed, it was not completely resolved on the first inspection attempt.

The building also received a valid permit issuance in May 2022 for exterior work (permit type EW, job number 340839150), though the specific nature of this work and its current impact on the building's condition are not detailed in the records. The most significant ongoing issue appears to be the failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations persisting through 2024. The building's history since 2021 shows a consistent pattern of non-compliance in this area, which may indicate either oversight or challenges in maintaining appropriate pest control measures. The combination of these violations, along with the recent rodent activity, presents a picture of a building experiencing some maintenance and pest management challenges, though the situation appears to be subject to ongoing response and management efforts as evidenced by the recent rodent inspection results.
