257 20th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit residential building at 257 20th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joseph Mariano, is a three-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.

However, these violations appear to be technical compliance issues rather than indications of actual infestations, as the bedbug reports submitted between 2021 and 2025 consistently show zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The building's rodent control history from late 2014 presents a concerning pattern, with multiple bait applications recorded during that period, including four consecutive bait applications between November 14 and December 23, 2014, following an initial failed inspection that noted rat activity.

Since that time, there have been no recorded rodent issues or inspections, suggesting the problem was addressed. While the property has experienced some regulatory compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, the lack of actual infestations as per the reports and the absence of rodent problems in recent years may indicate improved pest management practices. The building's age and history of these issues should be considered in any evaluation of its current condition.
