448 5th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 448 5th Street in Park Slope, owned by Dennis Kenny, has a documented history dating back to its 1920 construction. The property has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years, with open violations recorded in both 2023 and 2024 specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated.

This pattern of violations stands out, though it's worth noting that previous years (2021 and 2022) saw similar violations that were eventually closed. The building's bedbug reporting history shows a period of relative control, with reports from 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 indicating zero infested units, though three units were noted as requiring eradication efforts during these periods.

On a more positive note, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in February 2015, representing a brief period of compliance in pest management. While the bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with pest management compliance, the thorough extermination efforts documented in earlier years indicate previous responsiveness to pest issues, though recent patterns of non-compliance are concerning.
