198 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 198 8th Street in Gowanus, owned by Nurys Cortes, has maintained a consistent bedbug reporting record since 2020. The property, constructed in 1990 and classified as a Class A building, has undergone annual bedbug inspections from 2021 through 2024, with each inspection resulting in a violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though all these violations were subsequently closed.

However, recent bedbug report filings for the periods of November 2022 to October 2023 and November 2020 to October 2021 show no recorded instances of infestation in any units, with counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units all listed as zero. Though the building has experienced repeated violations for bedbug report non-compliance over the years, the most recent filings (April 2024 and October 2022) indicate that the property is currently maintaining a bedbug-free status, with no units requiring treatment.

The consistent pattern of violations for bedbug report filing requirements from 2021 through 2024 suggests a historical challenge with compliance, though it appears the most recent reports are being submitted as required. Since all recorded violations have been closed, and given the absence of any other documented housing maintenance issues or violations in the provided data, the current condition of the building appears stable as of April 2024, with particular attention to bedbug reporting requirements being the primary regulatory focus.
