386 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 386 7th Avenue in South Slope, owned by Linda Arroyo, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. These violations are particularly concerning given their recent nature, indicating ongoing noncompliance with mandatory safety reporting requirements.

However, it's worth noting that during the two most recent reporting periods - covering late 2019 through late 2020 and late 2020 through late 2021 - the building reported no confirmed bedbug infestations in any of its units, with all dwelling unit counts for infestation, eradication, and re-infestation showing as zero. The building's bedbug report filings were submitted on schedule in September 2022 and April 2021, covering the respective previous reporting periods, though the subsequent violations suggest a failure to file the required reports for 2022 and 2023. This pattern of violations related to reporting compliance, despite having no recorded infestations during the previous periods, suggests administrative oversight rather than an active pest control issue, though the open violations indicate current noncompliance that could affect resident safety oversight.

The 126-year-old building, constructed in 1890, has been subject to these unique regulatory requirements in recent years, which differ from standard violation types that might directly impact resident safety or comfort. Despite the bedbug regulation compliance issues, there are no recorded violations regarding structural integrity, safety systems, or other maintenance concerns that would typically be of greater concern to residents. The property remains subject to New York City's extensive housing regulation framework, which includes specific requirements for bedbug reporting and management.
