710 President Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 710 President Street in Park Slope, owned by Paul Roeraade, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most recently, in April 2024, an open violation was issued regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern of such violations over the past four years (2021-2024).

In 2019, an open violation was recorded concerning inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent inspections. The building has undergone multiple work permit issuances between 2019-2021 for exterior improvements, including plumbing and general construction work. The property has faced health and safety challenges, including a rat sighting in July 2018 (which was investigated and passed inspection), though rodent control efforts appear to have been successful as no subsequent sightings were reported.

Interestingly, the building's most recent bedbug reporting period (2021-2022) showed zero infested units, though this may be somewhat mitigated by the lack of subsequent bedbug reports in 2023-2024. A Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection in December 2020 found no violations at the time of inspection, suggesting some compliance with this safety regulation. While the building's age (built in 1899) and history show periodic maintenance and compliance challenges, recent records indicate improved compliance with pest reporting requirements, though the open violations regarding bedbug reporting and entrance lighting suggest ongoing regulatory compliance efforts are needed.
