697 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-unit, three-story brownstone at 697 Degraw Street in Park Slope, owned by Alan Wang, was constructed in 1899 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building's recent housing maintenance record shows recurring documentation issues, with three consecutive violations between 2022 and 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement under NYC Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), though all these violations have been closed.

Importantly, the most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 indicates no infested or previously infested dwelling units, marking a clean record for the past two reporting periods (2019-2020 and 2020-2021). The building underwent multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2019, with the majority passing successfully, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in March 2013. A subsequent compliance inspection in April 2013 passed as well, suggesting effective remediation of that issue.

The property's recent history indicates improved compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past several years. The building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are typical for the neighborhood, and while there have been some historical maintenance issues related to both bedbugs and rodents, these appear to have been largely addressed, with current records showing minimal active violations. The most significant maintenance concern to date has been the lag in proper filing of bedbug reports, though this appears to have been rectified by late 2024, when the property achieved annual bedbug reporting compliance with no reported infestations.
