472 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 472 Sackett Street in Gowanus, owned by Carmela Iovene and constructed in 1899 as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the property received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations (March 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024), all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While these violations have generally remained open, an exception occurred in 2022 when the violation was closed, following the submission of a bedbug report on October 5, 2022, that covered the period from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021. Notably, this report indicated no affected dwelling units, with records showing successful eradication of any infestations, though this was not reflected in the subsequent violations. The building's bedbug reporting history presents a mixed picture of compliance and infestation management.

While the December 2022 report demonstrated proper notification of HPD's annual reporting requirements, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues. It's important to note that despite the open violations, the recorded bedbug reports indicate there were no actual infestations during the specified periods, and any previous issues appear to have been resolved. The most recent violation from April 2024 remains open, representing the most current compliance issue on record for the property.
