671 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 671 Degraw Street in Park Slope, owned by Luis Baez and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the recurring bedbug reporting violation, with open violations in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though a bedbug report for the period 2020-2021 indicated no infestations or re-infestations.

The building underwent significant construction activity in 2020 that generated multiple violations, including serious safety and compliance issues such as work being conducted without proper supervision, failure to maintain required safety documents, and construction work in occupied areas. These violations led to penalties totaling $12,000, though records indicate they were subsequently resolved. The property has generally maintained good basic living conditions, with passing rodent inspections in 2018-2019 and only one non-critical violation regarding entrance lighting in 2019.

While the building has had multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements, the open bedbug reporting violations as of 2023-2024 are the only current regulatory issues on record. Previous housing maintenance violations from 2021-2022 have all been closed, indicating resolution of those concerns. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing most violations promptly, though some issues, such as the application of construction codes and bedbug reporting compliance, have required multiple citations to achieve correction.
