136 Berkeley Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Located in Park Slope, 136 Berkeley Place is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1882, currently owned by Eric Azcuy. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a heat and hot water outage in January 2023 that affected the entire building. Though this issue was resolved shortly after the complaint was filed, it highlights potential concerns with the building's heating system.

The property has been subject to recurring violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent filings indicate no infested dwelling units between 2022-2023 and 2019-2020. A concerning pattern emerged during 2021-2024, as the building received four separate Notices of Violation related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. The most recent bedbug report filed in April 2024 covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023, indicating 0 infested units and no instances of eradication or re-infestation. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with a failed initial inspection in August 2011 followed by a successful compliance inspection in September 2011.

While the property appears to have maintained bedbug and rodent-free status in recent years, the heat/hot water outage and repeated bedbug reporting violations worth noting. These recurring bedbug report violations may indicate administrative oversights rather than active infestation issues, as evidenced by the building's most recent bedbug filings showing no reported problems. The building has also experienced some record-keeping discrepancies, as evidenced by the listing of "apartment: None" in multiple violations across different years. Despite its age and challenges, the property has maintained compliance with most other housing maintenance requirements in recent years, though the need for regular bedbug reporting continues to be an administrative focus for the building.
