627 Baltic Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit building at 627 Baltic Street in Park Slope, owned by Michael Romeo, has a notable history of pest-related issues and regulatory oversight since its construction in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement. In November 2019, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though no violations were issued following their inspections.

The building has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, demonstrating compliance with HPD regulations, with no reported instances of infestation during these periods. A significant cluster of violations was documented in November 2019, all of which remain classified as open.

These violations pertain to safety and notification requirements, including posting information about carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and the availability of the agency's housing information guide, as well as displaying the building's registration number. On the positive side, the building passed a rodent inspection in July 2018, though this was prior to the documented pest complaints in 2019. The most recent violation-related activity occurred in 2024, when the building filed its bedbug report for the period covering late 2022 to late 2023, showing ongoing compliance with HPD's reporting requirements.
