408 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

408 Prospect Avenue is a three-story Old Law Tenement building located in South Slope, Brooklyn, owned by Maria Diaz and dating back to 1920. The building consists of three residential units and has undergone several inspections and regulatory requirements over the past five years.

Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in every annual inspection from 2021 through 2024, citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 covers the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units during that timeframe, suggesting a potential resolution to the infestation concerns.

The building does have one notable complaint on record from September 2020 regarding work being performed without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though this complaint was closed the following day when the inspector was unable to gain access after two final attempts. While the recurring bedbug reporting violations represent a significant regulatory compliance issue, the most recent filings indicate improved conditions regarding actual infestations. The building's violation history shows all noted violations have been closed, suggesting responsive actions were taken, though the pattern of repeating violations over multiple years indicates some systemic challenges with compliance.
