438 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 438 Union Street in Gowanus, owned by Richard Giancola, is an Old Law Tenement constructed in 1899. The property has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the past seven annual filings from 2019 through December 2024.

Additionally, the building successfully passed an initial rodent inspection in December 2017, and there have been no subsequent rodent-related issues documented. Of note is a single housing maintenance code violation from May 2019, where the building's front entrance lighting was found inadequate, though this violation was certified as corrected by June 2019.

The consistent pattern of no infestations or pest-related issues over the past several years, alongside the prompt resolution of the lighting violation, suggests that the building has been well-maintained in these respects. The most recent documentation, including bedbug reports from December 2024 and December 2023, confirms the continued absence of any pest issues in the building. While the lighting violation occurred, its swift resolution within approximately three weeks and the lack of subsequent violations in this area indicate it was an isolated incident rather than part of a broader maintenance pattern.
