721 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-unit, four-story old law tenement building at 721 Carroll Street in Park Slope, owned by Elizabeth Gouger and constructed in 1920, has a notable pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting compliance. Specifically, the building has received four consecutive annual violations between 2021 and 2024 (April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, while technical in nature, do indicate a recurring issue with reporting compliance that could affect residents' ability to address potential pest concerns. The building has undergone two rodent inspections, with mixed results: an initial inspection in March 2022 revealed rat activity, while a subsequent compliance inspection in April 2022 resulted in a passed inspection.

A previous rodent inspection in March 2018 had also passed. The presence of both rodent activity in 2022 and the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with pest management in the building, though the most recent rodent inspection indicates some improvement in that regard. The building's consistent bedbug report violation history over multiple years stands out as the most significant pattern in its inspection record, representing a longer-term compliance issue compared to the more episodic nature of the rodent inspections.
