38 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, four-unit building at 38 7th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Thomas Ord, has a documented history dating back to its 1881 construction. The property, classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" building, is currently facing an open Class A violation as of April 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While the building has experienced some bedbug activity in the past, with one reported case during the 2019-2020 reporting period, subsequent years (2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023) showed no infestation cases, with all reports indicating zero infested units and successful eradication of the single incident. The most recent rodent inspection in January 2013 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting satisfactory conditions regarding this pest concern at that time. The bedbug reporting history shows a pattern of compliance in reporting, though the current open violation suggests a lapse in the recent past.

The most significant recent concern is the open violation regarding the bedbug report filing requirement, which remains unresolved as of 2024. The building's documented history from 2019 to 2022 shows improved pest management outcomes, with no reported infestations in the most recent three reporting periods. The property management appears to have addressed previous pest issues effectively, as evidenced by the complete eradication of the single infestation case in 2020 and the absence of new cases in subsequent periods, though the current reporting violation suggests a potential oversight in record-keeping or submission procedures.
