349 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

349 Van Brunt Street is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Red Hook, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Deborah Malkin. The building has a documented history of recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with similar violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all classified as A violations.

These violations were specifically regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. However, it is important to note that while these violations were documented through the notice of violation (NOV) process, the building's official bedbug reporting for the years 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and most recently for 2024-2025 all show no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, indicating that there have been no actual bedbug infestations in the building during these reporting periods.

The most recent building inspection and complaints history shows minimal issues, with a complaint entered in June 2023 that was inspected the same day and found to warrant no violations. The building's bedbug report filing for 2025 has been submitted on time, and all previous reporting periods have shown consistent submissions with no recorded infestations, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements despite the earlier violations. The current status of the building appears stable, with ongoing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent filings, though the previous pattern of violations suggests this has been an area requiring attention.
