385 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

This three-story, three-unit Park Slope brownstone at 385 8th Street, owned by Margaret Ling, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024, with the most recent violation in April 2024 remaining open. The building's housing maintenance records show an ongoing issue with bedbug report compliance, as evidenced by three consecutive violations between 2022 and 2024, all citing non-filing of the required annual bedbug reports.

Interestingly, during the previous reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020, no infested units were documented, and all units were noted as having completed eradication efforts with no re-infestation, suggesting that while the building has maintained an infestation-free status, there have been persistent issues with administrative compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The building has undergone two tenant safety inspections by the Department of Buildings in late 2021 and early 2022, both of which resulted in no violations being found, with one inspection performed on November 15, 2021, and another on January 11, 2022, showing compliance with safety standards.

While the property has a relatively clean record in terms of actual infestations and safety violations, the repeated bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges with administrative compliance rather than persistent pest issues. The pattern of violations appears to have developed into an administrative oversight, as the most recent violations (2022-2024) show non-filing of reports rather than documentation of infestations, with the building maintaining a record of zero reported infestions during the periods when reports were filed.
