34 Douglass Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

34 Douglass Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by Daisy McFadden and constructed in 1920. The building's recent history shows several important compliance issues, particularly regarding safety notifications and bedbug reporting requirements.

As of April 2024, there are still open "Class A" violations related to the building's annual bedbug reporting requirements, while previous inspections from 2023, 2022, and 2021 had similar violations that were eventually closed. The building underwent a significant inspection in April 2020, revealing multiple safety compliance issues that year, including open "Class A" violations regarding the posting of required safety notices, such as carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information. Other safety-related violations from 2020 included one "Class C" violation regarding self-closing doors at the building entrance.

The property has experienced some emergency situations, most notably a cooking gas-related incident in April 2020 that was resolved within two weeks through HPD intervention. However, the building's bedbug infestation history has shown improvement over time, with the most recent report from April 2023 indicating no active infestations during the reporting period of November 2021 to October 2022, following a previous period (2020-2021) during which four units were previously treated and eradicated of bedbugs. The building's current status reflects ongoing attention to safety compliance matters, particularly regarding the posting of required safety information in common areas, while the bedbug situation appears to have stabilized based on the most recent report.
