831 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit, four-story building at 831 Union Street in Park Slope, owned by Filippo Castellano and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced persistent issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive Open Class A violations between 2021 and 2024, each stemming from the owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These repeated violations indicate an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with HPD regulations, though it's important to note that the violations pertain specifically to reporting requirements rather than direct evidence of bedbug infestations. The most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, remains open as of the current date (July 2025), suggesting that the issue has not yet been resolved.

The building's violation history shows no recorded violations between 2025 and 2020, indicating that this bedbug reporting compliance issue emerged in 2021 and has persisted through multiple years without resolution. While the repeated nature of these violations points to systemic challenges in maintaining proper documentation and compliance with HPD requirements, it is worth noting that there are no records of other housing maintenance code violations or safety concerns on file during this period. The frequency of these bedbug reporting violations, which have occurred annually, suggests potential oversight in property management practices, particularly regarding adherence to regulatory requirements.
