189 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, three-unit building at 189 8th Street in Gowanus, owned by Joseph O'dea, has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years.
Despite submitting bedbug reports for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 periods showing no infestation (with recorded counts of 0 infested, 0 eradicated, and 0 re-infested units), the building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug report filing requirements. Most recently, in April 2024 and March 2023, the building was cited for not filing the required bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules.
These violations are classified as "class A," indicating they are considered significant, though they appear to be more related to paperwork compliance than active infestations, as no violations for actual bedbug presence have been noted. Two earlier violations from 2021 and 2022 were resolved ("closed"), but the pattern of repeated violations suggests ongoing challenges with timely report submissions to HPD.
