176 Coffey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-unit, two-story tenement building at 176 Coffey Street in Red Hook, owned by Gregory Karas and constructed in 1899, has undergone several significant regulatory interactions over the past several years. Most notably, the building has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024.

These violations, while technically administrative in nature, indicate ongoing challenges with compliance to city regulations regarding pest management reporting. However, the bedbug reporting records from 2021-2022 show no documented infestations, with the count of infested, eradicated, and re-infested units all recorded as zero in the filings made in June 2023. This suggests that while there have been administrative violations regarding reporting, the actual infestation status of the building has been maintained at zero during the specified reporting periods.

Additionally, the building received a construction permit from the Department of Buildings in May 2019 for an unspecified exterior work project (permit sequence number 01, job number 321991467), though there are no records of associated violations or concerns with this work. The recent pattern of bedbug-related violations has shown some improvement, with violations from 2021-2023 being closed, though the current open violation as of 2024 represents a regulatory compliance issue that remains unaddressed as of the latest available data in October 2023. The recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggests a need for improved compliance monitoring, though the actual pest status appears stable based on reporting records.
