711 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 711 Union Street in Park Slope, owned by Zvi Oksenberg, has a documented history dating back to 2015 showing recurring issues with pests and compliance matters. Most notably, there have been consistent concerns regarding bedbug report compliance from 2021 through 2024, with four separate violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations were officially closed, they suggest a pattern of oversight regarding the building's pest management reporting requirements. The building's recent bedbug reporting for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no documented infestations, with the count of infested, eradicated, and re-infested units listed as zero, indicating successful pest management in recent years. However, the property underwent several rodent inspections between 2015 and 2018, with initial inspections in March 2015 and March 2018 showing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections generally passed, with the 2018 inspection showing a pass for rodent compliance.

An unrelated complaint about illegal after-hours work in March 2021 was investigated but no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building's age and classification as an old law tenement suggest it may have undergone typical challenges associated with historic buildings in New York City, though recent records indicate improved compliance with pest management requirements. The most current documentation, including the bedbug report from August 2024, shows proper reporting procedures are being followed, with no current violations on record.
