161 Garfield Place, Brooklyn, NY 11215

161 Garfield Place is a four-unit, four-story old law tenement building located in Park Slope, built in 1930 and currently owned by Msrgaret Fox. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining open, and previous violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021 all having been closed.

These violations pertained to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. However, the building's most recent official bedbug report filed in May 2023 for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting that while the reporting compliance was inconsistent, the actual bedbug presence had been effectively managed during that period.

Additionally, there was one Department of Buildings complaint in August 2019 regarding an inadequate or illegal fence, which was investigated but ultimately found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. While the building has had multiple bedbug report violations, it's worth noting that the actual infestation levels appear to have been well-managed based on the official reports, though the pattern of reporting violations suggests there may have been some administrative oversight or challenges in maintaining compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements.
