194 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The property at 194 8th Street in Gowanus is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1990 and owned by David Nathanson. The building has experienced consistent bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, all noting non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

These recurring violations suggest an ongoing issue with compliance rather than an active infestation problem, as the bedbug reports indicate no infected units during the 2017-2018 reporting period, with a record showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The most recent violation in April 2024 remains open as of the current date, July 2025, indicating that the matter has yet to be resolved.

While the bedbug report history from 2019 (covering the period from 11/2017 to 11/2018) showed no infestation cases, the consistent pattern of violations regarding report filing over multiple years and continuing into 2024 suggests a persistent issue with compliance rather than indicating any current infestation problems. It's worth noting that the building has no recorded Class B violations, which typically cover more serious safety and habitability issues, and there are no records of other significant events or violations that would impact resident safety or experience in the available data.
